User creation
As explained before, it's essential to link Users in your backend to your abstraction of a User or Client. When you create a user with our API, you can add an external_user_id
in the body as an additional reference.
curl 'https://api.bridgeapi.io/v2/users' \
-X POST \
-H 'Bridge-Version: 2021-06-01' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Client-Id: MY_CLIENT_ID' \
-H 'Client-Secret: MY_CLIENT_SECRET'
curl 'https://api.bridgeapi.io/v2/users' \
-X POST \
-H 'Bridge-Version: 2021-06-01' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Client-Id: MY_CLIENT_ID' \
-H 'Client-Secret: MY_CLIENT_SECRET' \
-d $'{
"external_user_id": "SUIDHIUHDS8838UD"
}'
If you create a user with an external_user_id
, you can also authenticate himself with this field and also to resarch users in our dashboard with this reference.
If you create users with an external_user_id
, you can both authenticate them and search for users with this reference in our dashboard.
User lifecycle management
Don't forget to delete the Bridge users associated to your customers when they delete their account on your service.
