This is the snippet from the json file:

The generated class "PublicUser" looks like this:
/**
* Public User
*/
export interface PublicUser extends Parsable {
...
/**
* The user_view_type property
*/
userViewType?: string | null;
}
As the typescript compilation error says, there is a property "userViewType" instead of "user_view_type".
