Searching for users in the Portal

1. Introduction

Among the APIs published in Fujitsu Research Portal, there are APIs that use other users' user IDs. This document explains how to search user IDs of users in the Portal using the User Search API. Also, only exact match searches using usernames are supported. Note that the contents of this manual may differ from the latest version.

2. How to Search for Users

1. Sign in the portal and click the "My account" in the navigation bar at the top, and go to the “Account" page.

   

2. Click the "Menu" button in the navigation bar at the top right. Click "User Search" under the "Menu" drop down to go to the "User Search API" page.

   

3. Once on the "User Search API" page, check the API specifications. Click the "Try It" button to go to the "Try It" page. The "User Search API" can be run on the Portal in the same way as the other APIs published on the Portal. If you wish to run the API using other methods like cURL, please also refer to Using the API.

   

4. On the "Try It" page, set the "Authorization" header. In the "Parameters" section, next to the "username" parameter, enter the username of the user you'd like to find. Click the "Send" button at the bottom of the page to run the API.

   

5. After running the API, make sure that both the username you searched and the user ID of the user are displayed in the response. If you search for a username that does not exist, the response will be an empty array.
