GET /users

Requires authentication with server access token.

List users. All query parameters are user properties that will be used to search for users. When sending multiple query parameters, the API performs an AND search. Some parameters are used to fuzzy match, while others perform exact matches. See the parameter list for details on which does what.

All regular expression queries use Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, as implemented in PHP and other places.

Response

This endpoint supports the JSON, JSON-P, and response formats.

Success: 200 OK

Returns all users matched by the query.

User

The user object is based on the portable contacts specification. It is extended with some custom fields. userId is an integer and represents the unique user ID, while id is a legacy uuid and should be ignored in new integrations. The uuid is also a user identifier, which is is globally unique and should therefore be the preferred identifier for a user. The email and phoneNumber fields will always contain the primary used for both if available. The corresponding *Verified fields are the date of the last time those were verified.
