Hi!

How would you update user details via the API? I don't see any update methods for existing users in the API documentation. In my case, I would like to go over each user and update their custom fields.

By the way, you might want to update the link at the bottom of this page (it's inaccessible): https://userecho.com/dev/api/reference/

How would you rate the customer service you received?

Here's another issue:

PUT https://refactoring.userecho.com/api/v2/users/195.json?access_token=XXX

{
  "name": "Paulo Henrique Lerbach Rodrigues"
}

Same error page as before. It might be related to the username length. If so, it would be great to see this limit described in API docs.

Unfortunately, the name cannot be longer than 30 chars. You will not get the error next time. It will be shortened to 30 chars automatically.

Yeah, works perfectly now. Is there a reason why you don't expose the avatar field in the update command? If no, it would be nice to be able to update it as well.

I think we've fixed the problem already. Please try again.

I can provide the exact API links with access tokens, if you make this ticket private.

I have a follow-up question regarding updaing user language via API.

I send the PUT request to here:

https://refactoring.userecho.com/api/v2/users/1.json?access_token=XXX

With this payload:


{
  "language": "en"
}

As a result, I get an HTML page with an error "Здається, щось пішло не так." (it looks like a localized error page of the userecho, not an API anser)

My project does have the English language enabled, so I'm not sure what might be wrong. When I try to update other fields, everything works fine.
