[API] In the Documentation: Wrong Key in the API Suspend

Bug
1

Hello,

I have found a wrong key which used in the PUT method to suspend an account which is making the suspend action not possible.

in the api documentaion:
http://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Admin%2Fpaths%2F~1admin~1users~1{id}~1suspend%2Fput

API Request

    api_key:{{api_key}}
    api_username:{{api_username}}
    duration:2017-12-04
    reason:Reason Test Here

The expected response
Getting the account suspended:

        {
            {
            "suspension": {
                "suspended": true,
                "suspend_reason": "Reason Test Here",
                "suspended_till": "2017-12-04T00:00:00.000Z",
                "suspended_at": "2017-11-30T10:49:51.248Z"
            }
        }

The current response
Getting null value in the duration so “It suspend the account till ZERO TIME so it means UNSUPSEND”

    {
        "suspension": {
            "suspended": true,
            "suspend_reason": "Reason Test Here",
            "suspended_till": null,
            "suspended_at": "2017-11-30T10:49:51.248Z"
        }
    }

The Solution
Replace the duration key to suspend_until in the body request and it works fine! like that:

    api_key:{{api_key}}
    api_username:{{api_username}}
    suspend_until:2017-12-04
    reason:Reason Test Here

So I will appreciate if you could update this part in the API documentation. it could help others.

Is this something you would like to try and update yourself? The docs are open source and contributions are welcome :slight_smile:.
