Bug: User by email API validaiton error on valid email

danmason · March 10, 2021, 12:57pm

Auth0 lets me create and update a user with an alias email (e.g. example+auth0@hotmail.com) via the management api, however, if i try to get that user via the users-by-email endpoint it throws a validation error:

users-by-email?email=example+auth0@hotmail.com
{“statusCode”:400,“error”:“Bad Request”,“message”:"Query validation error: 'Object didn’t pass validation for format email (truncated…)

However, If i try an email without alias it works fine
users-by-email?email=example@hotmail.com

Hi @danmason,

Welcome to the Community!

Thanks for reporting this. Let me try and reproduce and I will follow up.

Hi @danmason,

I am not seeing the same error. I was able to create a user with + and retrieve them without issue from the users-by-email endpoint. Can you confirm that your request is being properly URL encoded?

I was using the official php package, perhaps that isn’t sending the email correctly.

<?php
namespace Auth0\SDK\API\Management;
class UsersByEmail extends GenericResource
{
    public function get($params = [])
    {
        $client = $this->apiClient->method('get')
            ->addPath('users-by-email');
        foreach ($params as $param => $value) {
            $client->withParam($param, $value);
        }
        return $client->call();
    }

Can you please post your code so I can take a look?

For Javascript, you can use encodeURIComponent

http://localhost:3000/api?email=${encodeURIComponent(email)}
