Cannot add member via admin API

Integrations & API

Hi!

I’m trying to programmatically add members, using the /members/ route on the Admin API. I’m using Python.

GHOST_MEMBERS_URL = 'http://myghostsite.com/ghost/api/admin/members/'

body = {
    "members": [
        {
            "email": "test_email@hotmail.co.uk",
        }
    ]
}
r = requests.post(GHOST_MEMBERS_URL, json=body, headers=get_ghost_auth_headers())

I am authorised successfully, but the POST request does not add the new member. It returns a list of the most recently added members, but does not add the member specified in the payload.

Any assistance greatly appreciated!
