Creating your first user

Once you have your API Keys you are ready to create your first user!

Almost all API requests will interact with a user. To allow a user to connect to the API, first create a user_id using the /user/ endpoint. A user_id is the unique key we use to lookup users in our database. This should be a unique ID generated from your application - upon user sign up.

🚧
Personally identifiable information (PII), such as an email address or phone number, should not be used as input for the user_id parameter.

Parameters:

client_user_id

string

A unique identifier used to lookup a user.

from vital import Client

client = Client(
     client_id, 
     client_secret, 
     environment="sandbox"
     )
client_user_id = "ysad21321-..."
user_id = client.UserKey.create(client_user_id)

const { VitalClient } = require("Vital");

const client = new VitalClient({
  client_id: <CLIENT_ID>,
  client_secret:  <CLIENT_SECRET>,
  environment: "sandbox",
});

const resp = await client.User.create(client_user_id)
