Customer Forgot Password Rest Api In Magento 2

Question

I am using magento 2 rest api, when I try to run forgot password api for customer, it is showing an error message.

{"message":"Invalid value of \"%value\" provided for the %fieldName field.","parameters":{"value":"forgot_password","fieldName":"email type"}

I am using below api to send forgot password to user: {base-url}/rest/V1/customers/password

I have created email template with name forgot_password

I am sending three parameters: email,template and website

I would be great if anyone can help.

devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/rest/list.html API GET /V1/customers/:customerId/password/resetLinkToken/:resetPasswordLinkToken — Jackson, Commented Dec 19, 2016 at 6:56

This is working for me:

{
   "email": "[email protected]",
   "template": "email_reset",
   "websiteId": 1
}

template - "email_reset" is not real template which you can create in admin. It is constant which I found in AccountManagenet.php.

Note that even though you must use "email_reset" for the "template" value, it will actually use your forgot_password template, as long as you have set it up to be the one used for this purpose at Stores > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration > Password Options > Forgot Email Template
