Search on the API using "first name"

Hello There! I'm new on Khoros and I'm trying to get users by the first name using the API but it's returning a constraint if I use the first name, do we have a way to do it? Kind Regards! Steven ...

    Hi stevendany ,

    It is not currently possible to find users by first name using REST V2.

    You could use the REST V1 user search endpoint and tell it to only search the name_first field:

    [yourcommunithostbaseurl]/restapi/vc/search/users?q=joe&advanced=true&f=name_first&search_page_size=48&restapi.response_format=json
