Hi @amanmalkar, for that endpoint you need to use nested maps

• token can go under top level
• under database: name, engine, details, is_full_sync, is_on_demand, schedules
• under user: first_name, last_name, email, password
• under prefs: allow_tracking, site_name

@camsaul I did it. Thanks for the help.

For anyone struggling with the REST API Initial setup:

If you're not integrating db at launch you can do:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "token": "56dd2a37-8383-4d07-b634-10ce7afb4835", "user": {"first_name": "xyz", "last_name": "abc", "email": "xyabzc@gmail.com", "password": "xzy7030"},"prefs": {"allow_tracking": true, "site_name": "yyzz"}}' http://localhost:3000/api/setup

@amanmalkar thanks! how do you get the token at initial setup?

[amanmalkar]

@manugarri Hi! This should help

token=$(curl -s -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000/api/session/properties | python2.7 -c 'import sys, json; print json.load(sys.stdin)["setup_token"]' | tail -1)

replace with your py version. Let me know :)
