Live Example
Interact instantly with the API in this Codesandbox embed. In order to be able to use the API endpoints, you'll need to:
Update the value of API_KEY with the value of your API key. 
Update the value of FREE_PLAN_ID with the id of a free plan of your website. You can get the id of a plan by going to memberships in the dashboard, and extracting the id from the signup link. 
Update the values of the USER_ID_TO_FETCH for the user that will be queried,  USER_ID_TO_UPDATE for the user that will be updated, and USER_ID_TO_DELETE for the user that will be deleted.  
⚠️ These values can be the same id.  Deleting the user with the id of USER_ID_TO_DELETE will be removed permanently.

To open the code editor, drag the handle on the far left side of the embed.
