Thanks @blake, I think that has me back on the right path.

> curl -X PUT “[https://discuss.example.com/u/karl\_goetz.json?api\_key=[...]&api\_username=karl\_goetz&mailing\_list\_mode=false&email\_digests=true](https://discuss.example.com/u/karl_goetz.json?api_key=%5B...%5D&api_username=karl_goetz&mailing_list_mode=false&email_digests=true)”

Now when I refresh the web my settings have changed from mailing list mode to activity summary.

After more annoyance and reporting to reading the pydisuourse source it appears the \_PUT method doesn’t support passing params so I used their \_request method directly.

> d  
> {‘email\_always’: ‘true’, ‘mailing\_list\_mode\_frequency’: 1, ‘email\_private\_messages’: ‘true’, ‘email\_direct’: ‘true’, ‘mailing\_list\_mode’: ‘false’, ‘digest\_after\_minutes’: 1440, ‘email\_digests’: ‘true’, ‘include\_tl0\_in\_digests’: False, ‘email\_in\_reply\_to’: ‘true’, ‘email\_previous\_replies’: 1, ‘api\_username’: ‘karl\_goetz’, ‘api\_key’: ‘[…]’}  
> discourse\_client.\_request(‘PUT’, ‘/u/karl\_goetz.json’, params=d)

Which behaved as expected.

Thanks again for your assistance.

PS.  
Do you know why some user settings are only accessible via /u/username not /users/username ?
