Account Endpoints

Query Account

'GET /accounts/'

Queries accounts visible to the caller. The query string must be provided by the q parameter. The n parameter can be used to limit the returned results.

As result a list of AccountInfo entities is returned.

Request
  GET /accounts/?q=name:John+email:example.com&n=2 HTTP/1.0
Response
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Content-Disposition: attachment
  Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

    },
    {
      "_account_id": 1001439,
      "_more_accounts": true
    }
  ]

If the number of accounts matching the query exceeds either the internal limit or a supplied n query parameter, the last account object has a _more_accounts: true JSON field set.

The S or start query parameter can be supplied to skip a number of accounts from the list.

Additional fields can be obtained by adding o parameters, each option slows down the query response time to the client so they are generally disabled by default. Optional fields are:

  • DETAILS: Includes full name, preferred email, username and avatars for each account.

  • ALL_EMAILS: Includes all registered emails. Requires the caller to have the Modify Account global capability.

To get account suggestions set the parameter suggest and provide the typed substring as query q. If a result limit n is not specified, then the default 10 is used.

For account suggestions account details and all emails are always returned.

Request
  GET /accounts/?suggest&q=John HTTP/1.0

Secondary emails are only included if the calling user has the Modify Account capability.
