Adding user to group from API gets "BAD CSRF"

You will need to change the Content-Type to multipart/form-data and use -F instead of -d

curl -X PUT "https://community.mysite.com/groups/42/members.json" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" \
-F "api_key=THE_KEY" \
-F "api_username=system" \
-F "usernames=joeuser"

-F

(HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data according to RFC 2388.

-d

(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in the same way that a browser does when a user has filled in an HTML form and presses the submit button. This will cause curl to pass the data to the server using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
