Users API

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

GET /users

[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "username": "john_smith",
    "name": "John Smith",
    "state": "active",
    "avatar_url": "http://localhost:3000/uploads/user/avatar/1/cd8.jpeg",
    "web_url": "http://localhost:3000/john_smith"
  },
  {
    "id": 2,
    "username": "jack_smith",
    "name": "Jack Smith",
    "state": "blocked",
    "avatar_url": "http://gravatar.com/../e32131cd8.jpeg",
    "web_url": "http://localhost:3000/jack_smith"
  }
]

You can also search for users by name or primary email using ?search=. For example. /users?search=John.

In addition, you can lookup users by username:

GET /users?username=:username

For example:

GET /users?username=jack_smith

In addition, you can filter users based on the states blocked and active. It does not support active=false or blocked=false. The list of billable users is the total number of users minus the blocked users.

GET /users?active=true

GET /users?blocked=true

GitLab supports bot users such as the alert bot or the support bot. To exclude these users from the users' list, you can use the parameter exclude_internal=true (introduced in GitLab 13.4).

GET /users?exclude_internal=true

NOTE: Username search is case insensitive.

For admins
