This is the command that I am using for creating the customer:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1/magento2/index.php/rest/V1/customers" -H "Authorization: Bearer pvcp6auic4likpucpi07peas89hxivhe" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{"customer":{"email":[email protected]","firstname":"first","lastname":"last","storeId":1,"websiteId":1}}"

The error thrown is {"message":"Decoding error."}

Answer 1

You have to replace "(double quotes) with '(single quotes) at outer json data like below:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1/magento2/index.php/rest/V1/customers" -H "Authorization: Bearer pvcp6auic4likpucpi07peas89hxivhe" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"customer":{"email":"[email protected]","firstname":"first","lastname":"last","storeId":1,"websiteId":1}}'
