Read User

Resource: user

Reads all specified fields from user records. Most user fields are valid here and are passed as elements of an array in the parameter data. You cannot read the user passwort via API.

If you specify a user ID as resourceid, only data for this user will be read. If you need to retrieve the user IDs, then query all users first with parameter data and without a filter. In the response are the user IDs included.

Each parameter is returned with the appropriate value of the record.

In enterprise these user data are found under “Extras->Settings->User” / “Extras->Einstellungen->Benutzer”.

You need read permission to query user data via API. This can be set under “Extras->Einstellungen->Benutzer” / “Extras->Settings->User”. Choose the tab “API user”, then the tab “Rights” with the setting “Benutzerdaten über API auslesen” / “Read out user data via API”. Only API users can see this setting.

The own user can be queried via resourceid even without the right “Benutzerdaten über API auslesen / Read out user data via API”.

Following fields can be queried: Anrede, Titel, Kuerzel, Vorname, Nachname, Firma, PLZ, Ort, Strasse, Hausnummer, Land, province, Mobil, Telefon, Fax, Url, UstID, taxNumber, Gerichtsstand, imprintFurthermore (Weiteres), Firmazusatz1, PositionUnternehmen, Namezusatz1, Namezusatz2, Bank, IBAN, BIC, Finanzamt, Hinweis, Sonstiges, Nr, Name (user name), email, Emailname, adrId:adressen.ID (linked user address), anbieter, Prefix, usesAccount:account.id (Account approved or blocked), Sprache, meetingUrl (user link for video conference), online (status of a user: active, permanently deactivated, locked, etc.), userCreationDate
  • filter
    OBJECT. Key: field, value: array of objects with filter expressions in the format "Nr": [{"op": "=", "val": 1}]. With op you specify the operator. Possible values for op are the following SQL operators:

    For the operator like the value % can be specified as a placeholder.

    With val you specify the value which should be applied to the filtering. The individual filter expressions are linked with the AND operation. All values of parameter data can be specified for the filter. See also the example below.

  • sortby

    INTEGER. Maximum number of estates in the list. Default value: 20, maximum: 500.
