Introduction
If you have a third-party app that needs to create users inside your MemberPress website your only option is to use the Developer Tools add-on to create users via the API.
But there is a limitation to that.
You can set only the basic fields for that user via the API.
If you have any custom fields they won't be filled via the MemberPress API.
To solve this problem we've created an add-on that allows you to update the user that you created through the MemberPress API to fill the custom fields too.
We call our plugin, MemberPress User Profile API Endpoint.
Now you get to use it too. ????
What you’ll need
1 – MemberPress
2 – MemberPress Developer Tools
3 – MemberPress User Profile API Endpoint

Send a second request to our endpoint
Request Type
The endpoint accepts only POST requests
Format
The required format is JSON.
Route
At this moment you have the user created so you'll need to send a POST request with the data you need to add to their profile information.
To do so you'll need to use the following route:
/wp-json/memberfix/v1/update
This will make the address you are sending to like this example:
Authentication
To authenticate your request you will need to pass the same header bearer as you did for MemberPress.
The header name and API key are the same as the ones from the MemberPress Developer Tools.
Parameters
Required Parameters
1 – user_id – The ID of the user you are going to update
2 – Any other custom field you have created in MemberPress and marked it as Required.
Slugs
The endpoint accepts parameters that respect the MemberPress custom fields slugs. The slugs can be found in the ‘Fields' table.
Example Request
{
“user_id” : “2”,
“mepr_sorin” : “Here comes the data for the field”,
“mepr_sorin2” : “And here you can add other data”
}
