}
]
}
Response: 201
{
"result": [
{
"type": "api.post.added",
"description": "2 objects created."
}
],
"added": 2,
"users": [
{
"id": "9220538753483272432"
},
{
"id": "9220538753482068122"
}
]
}
Update
/api/users
The below payload updates a User(s).
To update one or more User at a time:
Payload:
{
"users": [
{
"id": "9220538753483272432",
"state": "Blocked",
"email": "testeruser-upd@tester.com",
"accepts-agreement": true,
"provide-information": true,
"change-password": false
},
{
"id": "9220538753482068122",
"state": "Blocked",
"email": "tester-upd@tester.com",
"accepts-agreement": false,
"provide-information": true,
"change-password": false
}
]
}
Response: 200 OK
{
"result": [
{
"type": "api.put.updated",
"description": "2 objects updated."
}
],
"updated": 2
}
Note:
Updates are done in a lenient manner, i.e. if updating one resource fails, the other ones might be successful. User ID is required for updates.
Successful requests will return
HTTP 200 Response. The body of the response will include the created
requisition. Unsuccessful requests will return
HTTP 400 Bad
Request
. The body of the response will include validation errors formatted as XML.
