User's email not returned as part of REST API's /rest/api/2/users resource request

[Matias Fidemraizer]

I'm performing requests against /rest/api/user?username=[some user name] and I'm facing two issues:

1. Documentation says "username" query string parameter might be either an user name or email, but when I look for some user by email, response has no results.
2. When I perform a request against the /rest/api/user resource by user name (not email), it returns the whole user JSON, but it doesn't include user's email address.

About "2", I've tried to give administrative permissions to the authenticated user who's performing such search requests with no luck.

How do I get user's email through REST API?

Thank you in advance!

Hey Matias,

Could you please point me to the documentation that states you can pass the email address? From the REST Documentation, I only see that email address or user key can be passed as parameters. Take a look at https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#d2e3826

Regarding the email address not being displayed, have you checked your settings for email address visibility? Take a look at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+JIRA+Optionsand look for "User email visibility".
