Arguments #

Optional: #

• from: the offset from the first result you want to fetch. Usually used with the size argument
• scroll: create a new forward-only result cursor. This option must be set with a time duration, at the end of which the cursor is destroyed. If set, a cursor identifier named scrollId will be returned in the results. This cursor can then be moved forward using the scrollUsers API action
• size: the maximum number of users returned in one response page

---

Body properties #

Optional: #

The search query itself, using the ElasticSearch Query DSL syntax.

If the body is left empty, the result will return all available users.

---

Response #

Returns an object with the following properties:

• hits: array of object. Each object describes a found user:
  • _id: user kuid
  • _source: user definition
• total: total number of users found. Depending on pagination options, this can be greater than the actual number of users in a single result page
