Register New User REST API

[Zoolean]

Hi tanya

As I understand from this thread:

https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/feat...m-sign-up-form

This is how you make a post call to update new user details.

You need to make POST a call to http://your_domain/api/v1/User

Json that must be sent Code:

{
"userName": "tester",
"lastName": "Tester",
"firstName": "Test",
"password": "1",
"passwordConfirm": "1",
"isActive": false,
"isAdmin": false
}

Here is the php wrapper for the API

https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...-client-php.md

But I do not know where to find the API Key, Do I create it myself? If so how?

I want to keep things simple using the php client. So can I just do the following:

$client = new EspoApiClient('https://your-espocrm-site', 'USERNAME', 'PASSWORD');

  $response = $client->request('POST', 'User', [ 'firstName' => 'Test', 'lastName' => 'Hello' "userName": "tester", "password": "whatever", "passwordConfirm": "whatever", "isActive": false, "isAdmin": false ]); 

The way that I understand it is that username and password are the super administrator's credentials?

oK, so I tried the github client and it did not work... So I wrote my own code based off of the github client. It gives me an authentication failed error message.

Error: Warning: file_get_contents(<PATH>): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized in <PATH> on line 37

This is my code

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);


//url

$url = 'http://<website/folder/folder>/api/v1/Lead';

//Credentials
$client_id  = "<username>";
$client_pass= "<password>";

//HTTP options
$opts = array('http' =>
    array(
        'method'    => 'POST',
        'header'    => array ('Content-type: application/json', 'Authorization: Basic '.base64_encode("$client_id:$client_pass")),
        'firstName' => "hmm",
        'lastName' => "hmm"
    )
);

//Do request
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$json = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

$result = json_decode($json, true);
if(json_last_error() != JSON_ERROR_NONE){
    return null;
}

print_r($result); 

Why wont this authenticate?

Hi,

I don't understand why you have in url "folder/folder"

$url = 'http://espoCrm/api/v1/Lead';

open navigator console.. make a change on a record.. look whats append .. in network xhr.. you must use this url.

this is what I think, never use external client still.

Thank you very much for your response. I found this link on the forum which provided me with a working example of the API. I tested it and it worked correctly .

For anyone reading this, this link will be very useful.

Oh one last thing. It seems the above link only works with an API key and not the user name and password. In any event, in order to create an API key, you need to add an API user from within the CRM
