### Abstract

When creating users with [the existing API endpoint](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users/operation/createUser) their registration ip address is set to the ip of the server/application that calls the api. This is a problem when you want to create users from an external service such as a minecraft server. This plugin provides a way to set the registration ip after user creation.

### Features

This plugin creates the following API endpoint

> POST /admin/set\_user\_ip#set\_ip  
> Params: id=Number&ip=String

to set the user\_registration\_ip address of a user with a given forum id.

#### Example curl command

```plaintext
curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin/set_user_ip#set_ip" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" \
-H "Api-Key: <key>" \
-H "Api-Username: <username>" \
-F "id=1" \
-F "ip=127.0.0.1"

```

#### Example java code, including account creation

Can be found in the [README.md](https://github.com/Nubebuster/discourse-set-user-ip/blob/main/README.md#example-code-for-java)
