How to Set Machine User

Use the bearer token and supply the "is_machine_user" payload to set the user as machine user.

Sample PATCH request and response (Set user as a machine user):

note

Bearer token should be provided as an Authorization header

The http method user here is PATCH which is stateful

To disable machine user, just change true to false in the machine user payload

Request

$ curl "https://api.opensolar.com/auth/users/{your_user_id}/"
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Authorization: Bearer <token>"
--request PATCH
-d '{"is_machine_user":true}'

note

Once is_machine_user is set to true, token expiration for that account will not apply anymore.

Response

{
  "url": "https://api.opensolar.com/auth/users/{your_user_id}/",
  "email": "arnie@illbeback.com",
  "is_machine_user>": true
}
