Hi everyone, I need to import ~100k users into Auth0 (into ‘Username-Password-Authentication’ connection). After that, I need to get all the Auth0 User IDs for those recently imported users. What is the best/recommended way to do that? These are options that I have on my mind right now: - Search API. **I can’t really use the Search API, because it’s output is limited to 10k users.** - Query one-by-one. That will lead to 100k search requests to Auth0 (basically, it’s will be one request per imported user). That’s not very efficient, I guess, and the Search cluster will not be happy about it. ---

Can you describe why you’d need to obtain the user\_id’s for all the user? ---
