I'm lookig for a way to get an specific user with Jira DC REST API using the email adress

[Felipe Perez _ServiceRocket_]

Following this guide Find Users , when I use the following API call

http://www.example.com/jira/rest/api/2/user/search?username=f.per@servicerocket.com

I get all the users with a similar email to the one provided instead of the specified user.

In my example, I get these two users instead of the one related to the email

"key": "JIRAUSER10105",

"name": "fperezcorrea",

"emailAddress": "f.per.correa@servicerocket.com",

"displayName": "Felipe Perez Correa",

"key": "JIRAUSER10101",     

"name": "fperezSR",   

"emailAddress": "f.per@servicerocket.com,"   

 "displayName": "felipe perez SR",

Is it possible to get the specific user using the email address?

Thank you in Advance

Hi @Felipe Perez _ServiceRocket_ 

That appears to be a known defect, which you may watch / vote for to see progress: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-72862

You do not describe how you are making that call to the REST API function: a custom app, automation rule, etc.  One possible workaround (depending on your usage) is to make the REST API call to get the partial matches and then use a regular expression or other text matching to find any exact matches.

Kind regards,
Bill
