How get the list of Jira users through JIRA REST API?

[Aniruddha Gayake]

I have a requirement where I want to get the full list of Jira Users in my organization through JIRA Cloud REST APIs. I know I can get details of a user using  /rest/api/3/user endpoint. Also I am aware that we can get multiple users details using /rest/api/3/user/bulk endpoint. But the problem with both these endpoints is that I have to know the userId of user I want to get details of. 

I want to get the list of users same like we get the list of projects using /rest/api/3/project/search endpoint.

Also how can I get the total number of records in user object?

If anybody knows the answer please help.

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest 

GET rest/api/2/user/search?username=.&maxResults=1000&includeInactive=true

Unless your Jira has more than 1000 users that should give you all of the users.  The above suggested answer uses the REST API version 3 which is still in Beta and you apparently have to go through some effort to get it working.

Hi @Aniruddha Gayake ,

welcome to the community!
As described here you can get a list of all users using

GET /rest/api/3/users

Returns a list of all (active and inactive) users.

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Tessa Tuteleers  for the response!

But how can I get the total number of users in organization?

eg. Suppose in my organization  there are 100 Jira users, so when I do get users call I would get list of all users. But in the response body or header GET API do not return the total equals 100. I I want that. Is there any way to get total?

In short, I want users API endpoint to return something like thin along with response body:

    {

"maxResults": 10,

    "startAt": 50,

    "total": 72,

    "isLast": false

   ""body":{

     ........

     } 

}

Thanks again,

Aniruddha

Hi @Aniruddha Gayake , 

the call returns an array of users. 
You can use nearly any programming language you are familiar with to get the size of the array.

Hi @Tessa Tuteleers ,

But the my use case is that I want to get the data of all the users by iterating through the paginated user API. So, I must know where the end lies.

Hi @Tessa Tuteleers 

I am using OAuth 2.0 (3LO) apps to get the code and then using that code to generate the access token. When I am using my access token to hit https://<site-url>/rest/api/3/users/search then it is giving me below error even if the scope I have added based on the documentation. 

{

    "errorMessages": [

        "error.no-permission"

    ],

    "errors": {}

}

Is there any other API to use for OAUTH 2.0?
