I see that I can get a list of users using the API using http://discourse.example.net/admin/users.json , but I get only 100 users and I don’t know how the paging for that works? The interface doesn’t seem to display more than 100 users if you go to the admin part.

There is no paging. There is no scrolling. Currently the only way to get more is to use “Export” :sadpanda:

sad panda indeed :frowning: The exported list doesn’t include the same data, and the way it happens makes it hard to grab programatically. Any idea if paging for users is wanted by anyone else and if it is something that may be implemented at some stage?

[image] dirkcuys: Any idea if paging for users is wanted by anyone else Yes :smile: [image] dirkcuys: if it is something that may be implemented at some stage? No idea.

Any thought if this will be fixed/expanded? We really need API access to access our user lists. Limiting at 100 just doesn’t make sense.

Has this been addressed? This would be really useful to my user import script

I’d also love to see this, to use in scripts that process the whole user base in some way, like this: [image] How to programmatically log out lots of users support As an alternative, here is a bit of JavaScript for node.js that iterates over a list of user ids and logs th…

Whilst not immediately obvious… It is possible to get a list of all users via the groups API endpoint available to admins. You’ll have to iterate over the following groups: trust_level_0 trust_level_1 trust_level_2 trust_level_3 trust_level_4 But they do support both limit and offset parameters…

This is a great workaround, but begs the question: Is there a reason these parameters are not supported on /users.json ?

So this API doesn’t give emails too. This means that I would have to get the whole list then interate through and pull each user individually to get all the appropriate info (admin, moderator, etc…) Is that correct

How do I get a list of all users from the API?
