How to issue POST requests with Node SDK/API

Hi folks,

I posted this on Github before I found this forum, but I’m having a basic issue getting started, which is probably just my not understanding the documentation.

I've set up my account and gotten my API key, but am failing to get a simple registration to succeed.

All the details are in the Github issue. I would have put them here as well, but the community forum issues a 403 error if I try and do that, so you’ll have to jump over to GitHub to see them.

Thanks for any help!

      Hi @ChrisR and welcome to the Community!

       

      I see that one of our engineers responded to your Github thread, but here’s the gist of what he wrote:

      • There is an object named data which is intended to hold all profile info
      • The request should look something like this: 
        const body = {
            data: {
                type: "profile",
                attributes: {
                    email: "test@klaviyo-demo.com"
                }
            }
        }

        const response = await Profiles.createProfile(body)
      • He’s planning to update the docs to make this more clear.
