# User resources

The Pootle API exposes a number of resources. Next you have a complete list of User specific resources.

Note

All URLs listed here should be appended to the base URL of the API.

## List users matching a criteria

URL: | `/users/?<CRITERIA>`
Description: | Returns a users list that match the `<CRITERIA>`.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | User list that match a given `<CRITERIA>`.

Note

For the sake of security is not possible to get a complete list of all the users in the server, even for superusers.

Note

The consumer will get the user data only if it is authenticated as the user which is trying to get the data for, or if it is a superuser.

If the consumer is a superuser, then it will only get all the data for its own resource, but for the other users resources will get only a restricted set of the fields.

`<CRITERIA>` is a query string where the fields are Django ORM Field Lookups. The available filtered fields and their filters are:

Fields | Available filters (field lookups)
--- | ---
`username` | exact

A query to:

    http://pootle.locamotion.org/api/v1/users/?username__exact=sauron

will return:

    {
        "meta": {
            "limit": 1000,
            "next": null,
            "offset": 0,
            "previous": null,
            "total_count": 1
        },
        "objects": [
            {
                "date_joined": "2013-03-15T19:04:39.401505",
                "email": "sauron@doesnotexist.com",
                "first_name": "Sauron",
                "last_name": "",
                "resource_uri": "/api/v1/users/5/",
                "username": "sauron"
            }
        ]
    }

## Create a user

URL: | `/users/`
Description: | Creates a new user.
API versions: | 1
Method: | POST
Returns: | HTTP 201 response with the relative URL for the newly created user on its `Location` header.

Note

The consumer must have the appropiate permissions in order to be able to create new users.

Note

The new user will receive an email asking to set a password. This is necessary because the user account created through the Pootle API is not capable of logging in because of the lack of password.

## Get a user

URL: | `/users/<USER>/`
Description: | Returns the user with the `<USER>` ID.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | User with `<USER>` ID.

Note

The consumer will get the user data only if it is authenticated as the user which is trying to get the data for, or if it is a superuser.

If the consumer is a superuser, then it will get all the resource data for its own resource, but for the other users resources will get only a restricted set of the fields.

    {
        "date_joined": "2013-03-15T19:04:39.401505",
        "email": "admin@doesnotexist.com",
        "first_name": "Administrator",
        "last_name": "",
        "resource_uri": "/api/v1/users/3/",
        "username": "admin"
    }

## Change a user

URL: | `/users/<USER>/`
Description: | Changes the user with the `<USER>` ID.
API versions: | 1
Method: | PATCH or PUT
Returns: | HTTP 204 NO CONTENT response.

Note

The method used can be:

- PATCH if the user is going to be partially changed (just some of its fields)
- PUT if the whole user is going to be changed

Note

The consumer will only be able to change the data for a given user if it:

- Is authenticated as the user which is trying to change the data for, and
- Has enough permissions to perform this action.

## Delete a user

URL: | `/users/<USER>/`
Description: | Deletes the user with the `<USER>` ID.
API versions: | 1
Method: | DELETE
Returns: | HTTP 204 NO CONTENT response.

Note

The consumer will only be able to delete a given user if it:

- Is authenticated as the user which is trying to delete, and
- Has enough permissions to perform this action.

## Get statistics for a user

URL: | `/users/<USER>/statistics/`
Description: | Returns the user with the `<USER>` ID, including an extra field with its statistics.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | User with `<USER>` ID and its statistics.

Note

If the consumer is authenticated as the same user for which the statistics are shown, then some extra fields are included in the response.

This fields are the same ones that can be accessed when the consumer gets the data for a user.
