Users

Contexts are now available

After you have upgraded your LaunchDarkly SDK to use contexts instead of users, you should use Contexts (beta) instead of these endpoints. To learn more, read Contexts.

LaunchDarkly creates a record for each user passed in to variation calls. This record powers the autocomplete functionality on the feature flag dashboard, as well as the Users page. To learn more, read Users and user segments.

LaunchDarkly also offers an API that lets you tap into this data. You can use the users API to see what user data is available to LaunchDarkly, as well as determine which flag values a user will receive. You can also explicitly set which flag value a user will receive via this API.

Users are always scoped within a project and environment. In other words, each environment has its own set of user records.

Find users

Search users in LaunchDarkly based on their last active date, a user attribute filter set, or a search query.

An example user attribute filter set is filter=firstName:Anna,activeTrial:false. This matches users that have the user attribute firstName set to Anna, that also have the attribute activeTrial set to false.

To paginate through results, follow the next link in the _links object. To learn more, read Representations.

offset is deprecated

offset is deprecated and will be removed in a future API version. You can still use offset and limit for pagination, but we recommend you use sort and searchAfter instead. searchAfter allows you to page through more than 10,000 users, but offset and limit do not.
