Using the Users APIs, you can retrieve the basic information of your available CRM users. Use the type parameter to get the required list of users. For example, you can set the param type as AdminUsers, to get the list of CRM users with Administrative profile. The detailed explanation of the Users API and the examples are shown below:

  • pageinteger

    To get the list of user records from the respective pages. Default value is 1.

    To set the number of user records to be retrieved per page. The default and the maximum possible value is 200.

  • idsstring, optional

    Represents the unique ID of the users. You can specify up to 100 user IDs.

Note

  • The page and per_page parameters are used to fetch user records according to their position in CRM. Let us assume that the user has to fetch 400 user records. The maximum number of user records that one can get for an API call is 200. So, for the user records above the 200th position, they cannot be fetched. By using the page (1 and 2) and per_page (200) parameter, the user can fetch all 400 user records using 2 API calls.
