Hi, I started a topic yesterday (now closed) about calling the Merge Users plugin programmatically, and Rafael kindly referred me to the release notes, which feature a mention of the plugin now having a UI ( Discourse 2.5.0.beta3 Release Notes ). Sadly, my skills with the Discourse API are not such…

The button is visible at the bottom of a user’s administration page. [image] If you open your browser developer tools while using it , you will see the request that needs to be made.

Hi Kane, Thanks for the tip! It took me a while to be able to create some users in my sandbox Discourse, but I was able to do so today. I took what I gleaned from the dev tools Network panel and attempted to duplicate it via Postman. These are the values: Method: POST Endpoint: https://my-disc…

Kane, Yes, both source and target are current users. If I remove the headers, I get back an HTML page that says “Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.” The “page doesn’t exist” part is understandable for a 404 error, but I’m not sure what “private” implies here. Mark

@mpemburn did you have any success with this? I’m migrating some mailing lists to a discourse instance. Since many people used different emails the transfer creates many staged users per real person. I would like to automate the merging of users via the API.

Now that there is an API call for Merge Users, how to call it?

Those all look correct at a glance. Have you checked that the target_username value exists?
