Incongruous user creation due to :respond_to_suspicous_request

Heyo.

I’m trying to integrate a salesforce trigger that creates a Discourse account over the api. I’ve generated a API key for the default system user who is admin, and when I create the user from the ruby repl it works fine but when its coming from salesforce it gets caught up in the titular before action.

Here’s the log I’m seeing:

The first call is the successful ruby call, the second its the failing salesforce call. The only weird difference I can see is Rails nesting some of the controller’s model’s params. Any thoughts?

Okay, I solved it. The httparty gem was defaulting to url form encoded content type while salesforce was using json, it works now that i’ve updated the script.
