Create a user profile

Creates a new user profile. Note that, because of database replication requirements, it sometimes takes a few minutes for the newly-created user profile to be available to the entity.find and entity.count endpoints (the latter when using filters). See the include_record parameter for more information.

Refer to the Registration error codes page for details on error codes.
