API groupuserpicker

[Halit Mert Altıntaş]

I want to reach the user name and user information in jira api, but the api does not return the user that matches me exactly. For example, when I send a request with the username "atum", all users containing the word "atum" such as atum, atuma, katuma are returned. How can I access the information of only "atum" user? I used some function in python for exatch match but is there any option at api side for this?

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://your-domain.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/groupuserpicker?query={username}' \ --user 'email@example.com:<api_token>' \ --header 'Accept: application/json'

Hi @Halit Mert Altıntaş 
Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Based on the API documentation

(...)

Returns a list of users and groups matching a string.

(...)

For example, if the string tin is used, records with the display name Tina, email address sarah@tinplatetraining.com, and the group accounting would be returned.

It seems that using the email, if known, could return an exact match.

Kind regards,
