Hello, I’d like to create and retrieve a user via the API using an external_id. The external_id would be an integer that references an ID in our internal database. This is not SSO related.

Thanks for your reply. I think that means we cannot use external_id, because we don’t want to enable DiscourseConnect . We don’t want to replace Discourse authentication. We’ll probably have to create the user via API, then store the Discourse user.id in our system and reference them that way.

Is DiscourseConnect enabled on your site? If not, you need to find the provider name of your authenticator and use that in the request. Some details about this are here: Finding a user by their identity provider 'external ID'.
