Hello @Furquin 

Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with adding users via API. It looks like your URL may have too many characters and is pretty long.  The API call should be relatively short and end like "yourschool.instructure.com/api/v1/sections/:section_id/enrollments. Here is the Canvas guide with specific examples - try to make it match the way it looks here. Additionally, if you are still having issues try some basic troubleshooting steps. Which program are you using to run the API? Are  the users already created and you're enrolling them to a course or they're not here yet? Hopefully this helps - let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the reply greydon, but the endpoint you gave me is to enroll users in some course, for that I need the user to be already registered in the canvas account because one of the mandatory parameters is precisely the user_id, I wanted to register users in the account of canvas, so you can register it in a course. the application I use to make these requests is insominia. Users would come via API to be registered on the canvas. which is exactly what I can't accomplish. I'm relying on this endpoint to try to regiter.

Hi Furquin, 

Did you get this working? We're running into issues creating users through the API; would love if you can share your code. You've got the most recent community post about this and it seems like things have changed over the years. 

Thanks!
