Updating Users via PUT Method in CS-Cart REST API using Postman

To update users using the PUT method in Postman with the CS-Cart REST API, follow these steps:

1. Authentication:

• Set the request method to PUT.
• Set the URL to /api/users/<user_id>.
• Set the Authorization header to Basic <base64-encoded email:APIkey pair>.
• Use the email and API key from the CS-Cart admin panel.

2. Request Body:

• Set the request body to raw and JSON (application/json).
• In the body, provide the updated user data in JSON format. For example:
  json { "user": { "email": "[email protected]", "name": "New Name", "password": "new_password" } }

3. Send the Request:

• Click the Send button to send the PUT request to the CS-Cart REST API.

Here is a detailed example:

Example Request

PUT /api/users/1
Authorization: Basic <base64-encoded email:APIkey pair>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "user": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "name": "New Name",
    "password": "new_password"
  }
}

Example Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "name": "New Name",
    "password": "new_password"
  }
}

Important Notes

• Ensure that the user making the API request has the necessary permissions to update users.
• The PUT method updates the specified user with the provided data. If you want to create a new user, use the POST method.
• Always use the correct URL and HTTP method for the specific API endpoint you are interacting with.
