Discourse API Docs I trying to make a sample code for LogOut My site dns is ‘aaa.com’, and User ID is ‘1’. I made url and send request like this. -post AAA Sorry Page Also, I send header with api-key, api-Username. But I recived response to “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.” [image] I trying to ‘CURL’, like this. But I got same result. (Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private~~~ ) curl -X POST " AAA Sorry Page " -H “Content-Type: multipart/form-data;” -H “Api-Key: secretStringTemp” -H “Api-Username: system” -F “id=1” \ Could you help me what am I wrong

I’m still able to log out users via the api. Here is the curl command I used: curl -i -sS -X POST "http://localhost:4200/admin/users/1/log_out.json" \ -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \ -H "Api-Key: 64b901d2357526d1b6e8c439fd0570f9c585073e6160ae18cc82b7ac358d4893" \ -H "Api-Username: blake.erickson" HTTP/1.1 200 OK {"success":"OK"} [image] If you are still having issues, can you share more info about your api request with us?

I’m stumped! I can’t log a user out using the API endpoint /admin/users/{USER_ID}/log_out.json I’m successfully retrieving the discourse USER_ID with the following: /u/by-external/${user.id}.json. I’m also retrieving data by hitting other API endpoints so I’m happy with the API key and the mechanics around my request. But when trying to send a post request… await axios.post(`${process.env.FORUM_URL}/admin/users/${UserID}/log_out.json`,{ headers: { 'Api-Key': process.env.DISCOURSE_API_KEY, 'Api-Username': process.env.DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME, }, }); …I get a status 404 with the following return object: { errors: [ 'The requested URL or resource could not be found.' ], error_type: 'not_found' } I managed to implement SSO without too much trouble. Any insight on why the logout might not be working would be great. Cheers.

This looks okay to me at first glance :thinking: . Does UserID hold a proper value?

Yes, in the test case it’s 1 (obtained from a call to /u/by-external/${user.id}.json ). Also tried hard-coding the value, just to double check…same result.

I’ve slipped over the posts from the other topic here to keep the discussion grouped together. :+1: Sorry if it’s a little out of sync. :slight_smile:

One way I can replicate the 404 error message is to use an invalid user-id. Can you verify you can fetch the user by id first? curl -i -sSL -X GET "http://localhost:4200/admin/users/1.json" \ -H "Api-Key: 64b901d2357526d1b6e8c439fd0570f9c585073e6160ae18cc82b7ac358d4893" \ -H "Api-Username: blake.erickson" HTTP/1.1 200 OK { "id": 1, "username": "blake.erickson", ...

Ok, so I’ve confirmed I am retrieving a valid user_id from Discourse, 1 in this case… { "id":1, "username":"Sean", ... } Interestingly, when I send a cURL request to the log_out endpoint for user id 1… curl -i -sS -X POST https://community.site.com/admin/users/1/log_out.json -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "Api-Key: my-api-key" -H "Api-Username: Sean" …I get a 200 response, suggesting that the user 1 (me) should be logged out of the forum, but when I check, I haven’t actually been logged out - that’s issue one. Second problem is that sending the same request from my app backend using axios (detailed above) results in a 404…very strange. Edit: Issue one is not an issue - the cURL request is successfully logging me out - just need to work out now why the axios post request is giving me 404.

Ok - mystery solved :roll_eyes: Turns out my axios request wasn’t formatted correctly! Since I’m not sending any body in the post request, I should have passed an empty object with the request. Thanks for the steer re. curl requests @blake - that’s ultimately what unlocked it for me. :+1:

Hi Sean, Can you please share the log_out.json code since I am working on a similar request

'/admin/users/{id}/log_out.json' is not working

Hey,
Same issue here. Did you get anywhere with this?
Cheers
