Cognito AdminCreateUser Endpoint

Question

Hi, I'm trying to use the AdminCreateUser action via Cognito User Pool API with an API and not via CLI.  I don't know which endpoint we use to make the AdminCreateUser request?  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_AdminCreateUser.html

The API endpoints you'd need are here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/cognito_identity.html#cognito_identity_region. You can see the requests the CLI is making by adding the --debug flag. To call that API action manually, you'd need to send a signed request with the header X-Amz-Target: AWSCognitoIdentityProviderService.AdminCreateUser.

However, if you're just wanting to call that API programatically, I'd recommend using one of the AWS SDKs, which will handle these low level requests for you. For example, in Python, you'd simply need to call the admin_create_user() function.

However, if you're just wanting to call that API programatically, I'd recommend using one of the [AWS SDKs](https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tools-sdks/), which will handle these low level requests for you. For example, in Python, you'd simply need to call the [`admin_create_user()`](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/cognito-idp.html#CognitoIdentityProvider.Client.admin_create_user) function.
