It looks like there’s an endpoint to set a user’s info, including their location. However, I can’t figure out: How to pass the user ID instead of the username? When I post a new location to mydiscourse.com/u/my_user_name, I’m getting a 404 error on return… not sure why. I’m using the same code that I used to post other things to the API. So I’m thinking that endpoint is wrong, even though it seems like that’s what in the API code. Am I just mis-reading the API code? [Edit: I tried adding .json to the endpoint, no luck] Thank you, E

See Reverse engineer the Discourse API while you execute that operation in the user interface.

Thanks Jeff, that was what I needed… being able to spy on the XHR requests directly is clever! For others who might need the info: I was able to PUT to /u/username.json and update the custom fields that way. And it appears you can only make the call with a username, not with a user ID (too bad).
