I’m trying to use the API to sync user data. I was able to, for instance, add a user to a group with a PUT to groups/:id/members.json However, now I’d like to update fields in the user profile – the name, for instance. I think it’s possible, based on this example . So I’m posting request: PUT /us…

Hi @Massimo_Redaelli , Here is a working curl example with an application/json Content-Type header and a json body: curl -X "PUT" "http://localhost:4000/users/joffreyjaffeux?api_key=b07032eebba01d9f200771a28efc0874014501bc9b866460206626172691be0d&api_username=joffreyjaffeux" \ -H "Content-Type…

That looks better than what I get: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Server: nginx Date: Sat, 03 Jun 2017 12:14:49 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive Vary: Accept-Encoding X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Content-Type-Optio…
