API update user

[tmsrxzar]

started looking into this, not sure where you are reading documentation but i logged it in my browser's dev panel

the jellyfin web sends different parameters, specifically the headers and the auth to be more specific


edit

this code works for me

Code:

import requests

ADMIN_API_KEY = '...'
JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL = '...'
JELLYFIN_USER_ID = '...'

headers = {
    "X-Emby-Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{ADMIN_API_KEY}"',
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {"EnableContentDownloading":False,
        "AuthenticationProviderId":"Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider",
        "PasswordResetProviderId":"Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider"}

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}/Policy', headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.status_code)

where ADMIN_API_KEY is an api key generated from the dashboard -> api keys
SERVER_URL is my server
JELLYFIN_USER_ID is the user id in the address bar when viewing a user (not a username)
