I think it's not possible. That's one of the limitations of Direct Grant 
API.

There is admin endpoint to remove required action from the user though, 
so you as admin can remove the required action for verify email from the 
user. But user himself needs to use frontend to verify email AFAIK.

I think you're right. It looks that most of POST methods in admin-client 
return "void" instead of Response, so there is no possibility to check 
the details. Feel free to create JIRA for that.

Btv. If you have Keycloak sources and you want to give it a try, then 
you can try to change this line: 
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/master/integration/admin-client/src/main/java/org/keycloak/admin/client/resource/UsersResource.java#L34 
to return "Response" instead of void. Then from the Response, you should 
be able to retrieve entity as ErrorRepresentation with the proper error 
method attached.
