Retrieve Users with the Get Users by ID Endpoint

Retrieve Users with the Get Users by ID Endpoint

The GET /api/v2/users/{id} endpoint allows you to retrieve a specific user using their Auth0 user ID.

This endpoint is immediately consistent, and as such, we recommend that you use this endpoint for:

  • User searches run during the authentication process.

  • User searches run as part of the account linking process.

The user ID should be URL encoded since it may contain characters that do not work well in a URL.

The request must include a Management API access token.

Request example

Required Scopes: read:users


curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D' \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer {yourMgmtApiAccessToken}'
