'The connection does not exist.' /api/v2/users

[Larsby]

Hi there, i’m trying to use the management API, i’ve red the docs and tried to implemented the code samples.

var options = { method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://<hidden>.auth0.com/api/v2/users',
  headers: 
   { 'content-type': 'application/json',
     authorization: 'Bearer ' + body.access_token },
  body: 

   { 
     email: 'jane.doe@example.com',
     user_metadata: { hobby: 'surfing' },
     app_metadata: { plan: 'full' } },
  json: true };

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);

  console.log(body);
});

This sample from https://auth0.com/docs/metadata/apis#management-api

Response

{ statusCode: 400,
  error: 'Bad Request',
  message: 'Payload validation error: \'Missing required property: connection\'.',
  errorCode: 'invalid_body' }

Ok i’m missing connection: 'Initial-Connection', as mentioned here https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users/post_users

So modified request:

var options = { method: 'POST',
  url: 'https://<hidden>.auth0.com/api/v2/users',
  headers: 
   { 'content-type': 'application/json',
     authorization: 'Bearer ' + body.access_token },
  body: 

   { connection: 'Initial-Connection',
     email: 'jane.doe@example.com',
     user_metadata: { hobby: 'surfing' },
     app_metadata: { plan: 'full' } },
   json: true };

request(options, function (error, response, body) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);

  console.log(body);
});

New Response

{ statusCode: 400,
  error: 'Bad Request',
  message: 'The connection does not exist.',
  errorCode: 'inexistent_connection' }

Could somebody point me in the right direction.

Edit, also in the explorer API - same error

RESOLVED

If anybody is silly as me and having trouble with this.

connection: ‘Initial-Connection’

Initial connection needs changing to whatever your database connection name you are using here is
https://manage.auth0.com/#/connections/database
