Bug: User by email API validaiton error on valid email

Get Help
1

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,

I am out of the office this week and will follow up monday.

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.

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)}
