How to create a user?

To create a user, an email, first name, and last name are required to run the Create a user endpoint, or else an error will be given as a response. Optional parameters such as an avatar can be provided later.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://sandbox.legislate.tech/v1/users \
     --header 'Accept: */*' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
     "email": "Email",
     "first_name": "First_name",
     "last_name": "Last_name"
}
'

A successful 201 response should look like this:

{
  "_links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://sandbox.legislate.tech/v1/users/{{UserId}}"
    }
  },
  "user_id": {{UserId}},
  "email": {{email}}
}

A successful response returns the UserId.

❗️

Unique email

An email can only be used to create one user, and trying to use it to create more than one user will return an error on subsequent attempts.
