Retrieve a list of users in an application

Copy link

You can retrieve a list of all or certain users in your Sendbird application using an ApplicationUserListQuery instance. The next() method returns a list of User objects which contain information on users within the application.

JavaScriptTypeScript
const queryParams = {
    limit: 20
};
const query = sb.createApplicationUserListQuery(queryParams);

const users = await query.next();

ApplicationUserListQuery

Copy link

Using a number of different parameters the ApplicationUserListQuery instance provides, you can retrieve a list of specific users that match the set values in the parameters. Currently the ApplicationUserListQuery instance supports the following parameters.

List of parameters

Copy link
Parameter nameTypeDescription

userIdsFilter

string[]

Specifies the unique IDs of users you want to retrieve in the filter.

metaDataKeyFilter

string

Specifies a metadata key to retrieve users with metadata containing an item with the specified key and values. Both metaDataKeyFilter and metaDataValuesFilter must be specified.

metaDataValuesFilter

string[]

Specifies the metadata values to retrieve users with metadata containing an item with the specified key and values. Both metaDataKeyFilter and metaDataValuesFilter must be specified.

nicknameStartsWithFilter

string

Specifies user nicknames to retrieve users whose nicknames start with the specified value.

limit

number

Specifies the number of users to return per page. (Default: 20)

Note: We recommend you set the maximum number of user IDs to 250 in the UserID filter. If exceeded, your query may receive an HTTP 414 error indicating that the submitted request data is longer than the Sendbird server is willing to interpret.

JavaScriptTypeScript
// Retrieve certain users using the userIdsFilter parameter.
const queryParams = {
    userIdsFilter: ['Harry', 'Jay', 'Jin'],
};
const query = sb.createApplicationUserListQuery(queryParams);

const users = await query.next();

// Retrieve certain users using the metaDataKeyFilter and metaDataValuesFilter parameters.
const queryParams = {
    metaDataKeyFilter: 'hobby',
    metaDataValuesFilter: ['movie', 'book', 'exercise'],
};
const query = sb.createApplicationUserListQuery(queryParams);

const users = await query.next();

// Retrieve certain users using the nicknameStartsWithFilter parameter.
const queryParams = {
    nicknameStartsWithFilter: 'Ja',
};
const query = sb.createApplicationUserListQuery(queryParams);

const users = await query.next();
