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

Felipe Perez _ServiceRocket_

When I use the following API call

http://www.example.com/jira/rest/api/2/user?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",

       

How can I get the specific user using the email address, is it possible?

Thank you in Advance

Hello @Felipe Perez _ServiceRocket_ 

Firstly, your question is about Jira DC, but you've also tagged your question with cloud and said it's a cloud deployment, which is putting the question in the wrong group and is confusing. Jira CLOUD is not Jira DATA CENTER.

The reason you're getting the results is because the string 'f.per@servicerocket.com' isn't a username, it's an email address.

If you want to search for a user based on their email address, use the Find Users endpoint, as it can search on email addresses
