Can't create new users (/api/auth/local/register

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

I’m trying to send a restapi fetch request (POST) to register a new user, and I’m getting a 400 response. I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong, though

const data = {
      username: "name",
      email: "email@mail.com",
      password: "hashedPassword",
    //   role: "Authenticated"
    }

    const url = "http://localhost:1337/api/auth/local/register";
    try {
      const response = await fetch(url, {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({ data }),
      });

      if (!response.ok) {
        const errorData = await response.json();
        throw new Error(errorData.message || "Response was not ok.");
      }

      const jsonResponse = await response.json();
      console.log("Success: ", jsonResponse);
    }
    catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }

(Reason why role: is commented out is because, to my understanding, if you leave it out of the request object, it uses the default option, right?)

Can anyone help with this? using strapi v5 rc
