I’ve tried the example on the documents ([Bulk User Imports](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/user-migration/bulk-user-imports#request-bulk-user-import)), which does not work (as pointed out in May 2021!) and the related community post suggests an alternative solution, which still does not work ([Bulk User Imports, Node js example does not work](https://community.auth0.com/t/bulk-user-imports-node-js-example-does-not-work/62482)).

When I try and import the same file using curl, it works, but when I use node I get a 500 error with no useful information, just “internal server error”

Hi @kevin.richards1,

Thanks for reaching out to the Auth0 Community!

I have tested the [Bulk User Import endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Jobs/post_users_imports) using Node.js on my end and got a working sample. Could you please try the following code and see how it goes?

```auto
var axios = require('axios');
var FormData = require('form-data');
var fs = require('fs');
var data = new FormData();
data.append('users', fs.createReadStream('YOUR_FILE_PATH_NAME'));
data.append('connection_id', 'YOUR_CONNECTION_ID');

var config = {
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN/api/v2/jobs/users-imports',
  headers: { 
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_MANAGEMENT_API_TOKEN', 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
    ...data.getHeaders()
  },
  data : data
};

axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.log(error);
});

```

I look forward to your update.

Thanks,  
Rueben

Yeah, that seems to work. Perhaps you could update the help docs with that example.

Thanks
