I’m learning React at the moment and using Kirby to handle my content and user accounts.

The site will allow public registration; is it possible to create new users via the API? There doesn’t appear to be any documentation on this ([Authentication | Kirby CMS](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/api/auth)).

You are looking at the wrong endpoint, here it is: [https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/api/users/create](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/api/users/create)

You will still need to authenticate before: [https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/api/authentication](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/api/authentication)

Just found this myself, should have looked a bit harder before posting! Thanks @distantnative.

The “users” endpoint page could be a bit easier to navigate to be fair, doesn’t mention anything to do with creating a user; [https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/api/users](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/api/users).

Guess this relates to [Reference: API show action and method in overview · Issue #211 · getkirby/getkirby.com · GitHub](https://github.com/getkirby/getkirby.com/issues/211)
