When I test API users.json , I use postman to create User, it works, and activated by default, means active=true works But when I create a user with code in node.js. same params, active=true don’t work anymore, But I do get a success message.. says, success: true, active: false, how come. I don’t even see it at backend.

My guess is that your node.js code is not passing the API key correctly, so you are not being allowed to override the active parameter. If you can share a snippet of your code here we might be able to help out.

Hi David, Thank you: here is my request: { "url": "users.json", "method": "post", "data": { "api_key": "57d06a163190ee90de1118ac2adbaf5eeb5aa93d4d02dbe8f5d424c388f126e294c", "api_username": "Nathan001", "name": "tokgood", "email": "tokgood@qq.com", "password": "64c6457d-b815-4e87-8ea1-e66becd710bc", "username": "2cx9pyCMyn", "active": true, "approved": true }, "headers": { "common": { "Accept": "application/json, text/plain, */*" }, "delete": {}, "get": {}, "head": {}, "post": { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }, "put": { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }, "patch": { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }, "content-type": "multipart/form-data" }, "baseURL": "https://www.tuntry.com/", "transformRequest": [ null ], "transformResponse": [ null ], "timeout": 60000, "xsrfCookieName": "XSRF-TOKEN", "xsrfHeaderName": "X-XSRF-TOKEN", "maxContentLength": -1 } I have double-checked the API user and key, it’s correct. I just wrapped a post request with Axios. const post = (url, data) => service.post(url, { api_key: Config.discourse.api_key, api_username: Config.discourse.api_username, ...data, } )

I don’t know much about node, but that looks ok as far as I can see. One thing you could try is sending the API credentials via HTTP headers, rather than parameters. Sending via parameters is deprecated, and will cause a warning in your admin panel. The header names are Api-Key and Api-Username (note hyphens, not underscores). More info here.

Great man, Yes I solved it after add Api-Key and Api-Username and add 'content-type': 'application/json', to the header!
