API reference/Site members

Approve a member

Try it

Approves someone waiting to join; they're emailed a sign-in link.

POST/api/v1/sites/{site_id}/members/{member_id}/approve

Authentication

An API key as Authorization: Bearer or x-api-key. It needs the members:write scope — approve, add and remove site members; mark pages members only (live at once).

members:writeChanges the live siteIdempotency-Key requiredMCP tool: approve_site_member

Parameters

Named placeholders go in the path; the rest in a JSON body.

site_idstringPath · required
The site's id.1 to 100 characters
member_idstringPath · required
The member's id.1 to 100 characters

Response

200 with JSON on success (schema on the right). Errors use the standard envelope; a retry with the same Idempotency-Key gets the first answer back (how retries work).
