Add group and masquerade answer to user created via API

lucasf

Hello, friends

Lately I've been learning a lot about Flarum and PHP in general. I'm currently studying ways to make a cross authentication between my company's website and our internal forum, and I was able to create users via API, according to the documentation.

However, I'd like to create the user with more attributes than just username and password. Specifically, it'd be great if the user could be created belonging in a specific group and with a masquerade answer.

what should I add to the JSON request in order to setup these options?

thank you all for the attention

lucasf I don't think it's documented anywhere, but you can easily see the payload if you edit the attributes from the single page application and inspect the API request in the browser network tab in development tools.

All extensions implement their features through the REST API so it will also work when using an API key to authenticate from a script. Some extensions might only allow users to edit their own attributes and not allow admins to edit anyone's attributes. In that case you can customize the ;userId= part of your Authorization HTTP header to perform the request as the target user.
