Create new customer

$userData = array("username" => "admin", "password" => "admin123");
$ch = curl_init("http://magento213/index.php/rest/V1/integration/admin/token");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($userData));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Content-Lenght: " . strlen(json_encode($userData))));
$token = curl_exec($ch);
$customerData = [
 'customer' => [
 "email" => "[email protected]",
 "firstname" => "John",
 "lastname" => "Doe",
 "storeId" => 1,
 "websiteId" => 1
 ],
 "password" => "Demo1234"
];
$ch = curl_init("http://magento213/index.php/rest/V1/customers");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($customerData));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode($token)));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result, 1);
echo '<pre>';print_r($result);

//For update

$customerData = [
 'customer' => [
 'id' => 10,
 "email" => "[email protected]",
 "firstname" => "John2",
 "lastname" => "Doe2",
 "storeId" => 1,
 "websiteId" => 1
 ],
 "password" => "Demo1234"
];
$ch = curl_init("http://magento213/index.php/rest/V1/customers/10");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($customerData));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode($token)));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result, 1);
echo '<pre>';print_r($result);

API List

• Sohel Rana: magento213, should be your url. It's tested M2.1.3.
• satya: I used this code for magnto-2 but password is not updating.
• Yehuda Schwartz: @SohelRana Why do I need to put in alll those fields that are not being updated for an update? (I asked this as its own question here magento.stackexchange.com/questions/258640/…
• Anees: @SohelRana Can we create user using magento 2 own endpoints just passing some username and password. Like we get customer using API.
