Associate a Puppet class (using puppet class name) with a New Host using Foreman API

How can i use a puppet class name while creating a host using Foreman API

I used this curl command:

curl -k -u admin:changeme -H "Accept: version=2,application/json" -H
"Content-Type: application/json" -k -u admin:changeme -d '{ "host" : {
"name" : "test123", "hostgroup_id" : "1", "compute_resource_id" : "3",
"compute_profile_name" : "1-Small", "environment_id" : "3", "domain_id" :
"1", "mac" : "52:53:00:1e:85:93", "architecture_id" : "1",
"operatingsystem_id" : "5", "puppetclasses" : "config" } }' -X POST
"$FOREMAN_URL"

I get this following error:

{
"error": {"message":"Puppetclass(#69872206691040) expected, got
String(#69872304247800)"}
}

Am i missing something, Is there any API extension for this?

Try using "puppetclass_names" or "puppetclass_ids" (if you can look up
the IDs), and pass in an array, not a single string.

"puppetclass_ids":[1,2,3]
