Hi,

&nbsp;

I’m able to create a valid JWT and pull user data successfully. However when I attempt to update a user I’m getting an error:

&nbsp;

{“code”:300,“message”:“Unsupported Content Type”}

&nbsp;

Your docs indicate it’s a “PATCH” http call, but in the example curl call you don’t include a -X PATCH argument…

&nbsp;

for example:

&nbsp;

/usr/bin/curl -X PATCH -s -S -d ‘{“first\_name”:“Apache”}’ -H ‘Authorization: Bearer VALID\_JWT\_TOKEN’ [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/ZOOM\_USER\_ID](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/ZOOM_USER_ID)

results in:

{“code”:300,“message”:“Unsupported Content Type”}

&nbsp;

and if I call it the way the docs describe (without the -X PATCH argument) I get a huge zoom error page with no json content.

&nbsp;

Any help here appreciated.

&nbsp;

Hi Brian,&nbsp;

Yes. you do need to -X Patch in your curl command, here is a sample one below, if successful you should receive a 204 code.&nbsp;

curl -X PATCH “[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{user-id}?access\_token=mLY1\_5lHPdlXbRs](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7Buser-id%7D?access_token=mLY1_5lHPdlXbRs)” -H “accept: application/json” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d “{ “first\_name”: “Jim”}”

Thanks

Thanks Michael. I got it working now. It would help immensely if your API docs were current and included valid, working examples.
