Search for User

The Search User API allows the admin to find a particular user based on a number of variables.

Version	2.0
Call	https://integration.shopatron.com/api/usermgmt/v1/user
Supported Formats	JSON
HTTP Method	GET
Schema	https://integration.shopatron.com/api/usermgmt/v1/schema/userSearch.json

Note that the core URL may be different from the standard production environment, depending on the configuration.

The .json address above can be used to access the schema within Postman. An example use of the User Management API follows below, or view the sample Postman collection.

The request itself is built within the URL by adding a “/?” to the call followed by specific parameters joined by the “&” symbol. For instance, searching for a user based on their first and last names would use the following format:

• https://integration.shopatron.com/api/usermgmt/v1/user/?firstName=[First Name]&lastName=[Last Name]

In the case of performing a search with multiple terms of the same parameter, such as retrieving multiple user IDs at once, use a comma-separated list as shown below.

• https://integration.shopatron.com/api/v2/user/?userID=[User ID One],[User ID Two],[User ID Three]

GET calls that support pagination for numerous results, such as when searching, also accept a perPage parameter that defines how many results can be returned on each page. The default is 10 and the maximum is 100. Switch between pages of results by appending the page parameter to the call. For example:

• https://integration.shopatron.com/api/v2/user/?firstName=[First Name]&perPage=2&page=2

Example

In this example, the user being searched for includes these particular properties:

• Searching for users based on the first name “Example”
• Two results, one Manufacturer Admin and one System Admin
