I would like to make an API call that would return a list of users in a given user group, along with their bio. I don’t want to be in a position of having to make a new API call for every user to then get their bio. Is there any way to do this?

[immagine] Jay Pfaffman: Profile - pfaffman - Discourse Meta shows my bio in an incognito window, so the bio might be available on your site to anonymous users, so you wouldn’t need an API key. I think you’d need to have hide user profiles from public toggled off for them to be available for non-users, so that may be worth a check.

Use the data explorer plugin and then Run Data Explorer queries with the Discourse API.

Is there any way to do this using the publicly available APIs? We want to be able to access this data from a public site, but it looks like the bio might not be available unless you provide an API key.

You’ll need to loop through the users to get their bio.

My wife does discourse analysis with tools like ATLAS.ti and I’ve spent some time pulling data from various sources to be analzed with various tools. Good luck to you!

Thank you, I didn’t realize this was an option, but changing that allows me to access the details of the users now!

Usa il plugin data explorer e poi Esegui query Data Explorer con l’API di Discourse.
