Php Magento Api Rest Create Customer Password Issue :

Question

I'm using the Magento ver. 2.1.2 Rest Api to create users, following this : http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/api/rest/Resources/resource_customers.html#RESTAPI-Resource-Customers-HTTPMethod-POST-customers

$data = [
 "customer" => [
 "firstname" => 'Earl',
 "lastname" => 'Hickey',
 "email" => '[email protected]',
 "password" => 'password',
 "website_id" => 1,
 'store_id' => 1,
 "group_id" => 1
 ]
];
$token = $this->get('lp_api')->getToken();
$ch = curl_init( $this->endpoint . 'customers');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
 "Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode( $token ),
 )
);
 // var_dump(curl_getinfo($c));
$result = curl_exec($ch);

If i send a password (as in the example above), i've got the following error :

Next Exception: Report ID: webapi-583357a3bf02f; Message: Property "Password" does not have corresponding setter in class "Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface". in /var/www/html/www.magento.dev/vendor/magento/framework/Webapi/ErrorProcessor.php:195

I noticed that if i remove the "password" => 'password' from the $data array, a user is created without password (seems odd to me).

I can't find any help on this error. Any idea anyone ?

Use below code to create customer account by api

 $data = [
 "customer" => [
 "firstname" => 'Earl',
 "lastname" => 'Hickey',
 "email" => '[email protected]',
 "website_id" => 1,
 'store_id' => 1,
 "group_id" => 1
 ],
 "password" => 'password'
 ];
 $token = $this->get('lp_api')->getToken();
 $ch = curl_init( $this->endpoint . 'customers');
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
 "Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode( $token ),
 )
 );
 // var_dump(curl_getinfo($c));
 $result = curl_exec($ch);
