Is there an API to get user_detail information based on the email address instead of the user_id?
Basically, I’m setting up a chat system and I want the user to be able to enter their friend’s email address instead of a very long user_id value. Is there anyway to retrieve the user_id based on the email address?
The Management API User Search endpoint supports this.
You could perform a search with email:"james@bond.com" as the q parameter.
OK. I’ll test that out. Thank you!!! =)
Do you have an example of how to do this via Objective-C in an iOS application?
I’m having some trouble with it. It keeps returning 404 not found. But, when I test it from the management API in a web browser with the same API token, that works.
Does this have to be put in the body tag? In my iOS code, I just have it appended to the end of the URL. But, that doesn’t seem to work at all.
Never mind. I got it. =) I had an extra / in my URL that wasn’t needed.
