# Users API **(FREE)**
2014-09-02 18:07:02 +05:30
## List users
Get a list of users.
This function takes pagination parameters `page` and `per_page` to restrict the list of users.
### For normal users

```plaintext
2014-09-02 18:07:02 +05:30
GET /users
```
```json
[
{
"id": 1,
"username": "john_smith",
"name": "John Smith",
"state": "active",
"avatar_url": "http://localhost:3000/uploads/user/avatar/1/cd8.jpeg",
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
"web_url": "http://localhost:3000/john_smith"

}
]
```

You can also use `?search=` to search for users by name, username, or public email. For example, `/users?search=John`. When you search for a:
- Public email, you must use the full email address to get an exact match.
- Name or username, you do not have to get an exact match because this is a fuzzy search.
2018-11-18 11:00:15 +05:30
In addition, you can lookup users by username:
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2018-11-18 11:00:15 +05:30
GET /users?username=:username
```
For example:
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2018-11-18 11:00:15 +05:30
GET /users?username=jack_smith
```
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
NOTE:
Username search is case insensitive.
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
In addition, you can filter users based on the states `blocked` and `active`.
2022-08-13 15:12:31 +05:30
It does not support `active=false` or `blocked=false`.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
GET /users?active=true
```
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
```plaintext
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
GET /users?blocked=true
```
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
In addition, you can search for external users only with `external=true`.
It does not support `external=false`.
```plaintext
GET /users?external=true
```
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
GitLab supports bot users such as the [alert bot](../operations/incident_management/integrations.md)
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
or the [support bot](../user/project/service_desk.md#support-bot-user).
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
You can exclude the following types of [internal users](../development/internal_users.md#internal-users)
2022-04-04 11:22:00 +05:30
from the users' list with the `exclude_internal=true` parameter
([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241144) in GitLab 13.4):
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
- Alert bot
- Support bot
2022-04-04 11:22:00 +05:30
However, this action does not exclude [bot users for projects](../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-projects)
or [bot users for groups](../user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-groups).
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
2020-11-24 15:15:51 +05:30
```plaintext
GET /users?exclude_internal=true
```
2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
In addition, to exclude external users from the users' list, you can use the parameter `exclude_external=true`.
```plaintext
GET /users?exclude_external=true
```
2018-12-13 13:39:08 +05:30
2022-06-21 17:19:12 +05:30
To exclude [bot users for projects](../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-projects)
and [bot users for groups](../user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-groups), you can use the
parameter `without_project_bots=true`.
```plaintext
GET /users?without_project_bots=true
```

2022-11-25 23:54:43 +05:30
- [Manually by an administrator](../user/profile/account/create_accounts.md#create-users-in-admin-area).
- As a [project bot user](../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#bot-users-for-projects).
If the returned value is `null`, the account was created by a user who registered an account themselves.
2018-03-27 19:54:05 +05:30
You can include the user's [custom attributes](custom_attributes.md) in the response with:

users. Either `password`, `reset_password`, or `force_random_password`
