Simon! Yep it's me :) I worked out I didn't include the RequestHandler component.
Second issue was formatting the POST data. Was trying to post raw json to /users.json using a chrome plugin. Didn't work, but a simple form did so long as the input name is in the format data[User][username] Got to workout API authentication now. Any pointers?
