getting user id of the user whenever the email address of the user is entered

I want to get the user id of a user using the email address of the user. I want to use api v2 to return the user id of a particular user whenever the email address of that user is entered.

  • Anonymous0909 , You can use API V1 to fetch user record based on there email id.

    Below is the API at the end you need to add actual {email} of the user, this will return the information of that user.

    <response status="success">
      <user type="user" href="/users/id/43">
        <registered type="boolean">false</registered>
        <id type="int">43</id>
        <deleted type="boolean">false</deleted>
        <email type="string">john.doe@example.com</email>
        <anonymous type="boolean">false</anonymous>
