User Role

Changes since API version 2019-02-01

2020-02-13 - Create a User - New route

  • The route/v2/usersis now deprecated: to create a user you must use/users.

Create a User*

And on the 6th day, you can make pancakes and watch cartoons, cuz creating new users is super easy. Just use POST /users.
We use the JWT in the header to identify a User. According to the JWT specs, the subclaim is the identifier of the subject, i.e. the user. So, whenever you send us a JWT, we extract the subvalue and use that as the user ID.
See Authentication for how to get a JWT. With the route POST /users, you could both create a new user with a JWT and login a user with their JWT.
