Using Query Parameters

You can use the following query parameters when calling the Get Users, Get Roles, Get Events, and Get Groups resource APIs.

Fields

When you call a resource API, include the fields query parameter to return only the attributes you want to return.

For example, to return only user email, username, and status values, use the field parameter with this criteria:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?
fields=email, username, status

The response will return user objects that look like this:

{
  "id": 1,
  "email": "test@onelogin.com",
  "username": "test_user",
  "status": 1
}

Search

When you call a resource API, include a search parameter to return only the results that meet your criteria.

For example, you can search for a specific attribute value:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?email=test@onelogin.com

You can search for attribute values using wildcards. For example:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?email=*@onelog.in

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?email=!@onelogin.com

For more information about the search parameters that are available for resources, see the documentation for the specific API call.

Since and Until

When you make a Get Users or Get Events call, include the until and/or since query parameters to return results that meet criteria based on created_at atrribute values.

For example, to return resources created after a specific created_at value, use the since parameter:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?since=2015-11-01T19:44:55.681Z

This will return users created after 2015-11-01T19:44:55.681Z.

To return resources created before a specific created_at value, use the until parameter:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?until=2010-11-01T19:44:55.681Z

This will return users created before 2010-11-01T19:44:55.681Z.

To return resources created within a window of time bounded by specific created_at values, use the since and until parameters together:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?since=2010-11-01T19:44:55.681Z&until=2011-11-
01T19:44:55.681Z

This will return users created after 2010-11-01T19:44:55.681Z, but before 2011-11-01T19:44:55.681Z.

Pagination

When you call a resource API, the response message will include a pagination element like the one shown here:

"pagination": {
   "before_cursor": null,
   "after_cursor": "bmFtZTo6Ok9mZmljZS0tIyNpZDo6OjQyMTUy",
   "previous_link": null,
   "next_link": "https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/roles?
   after_cursor=bmFtZTo6Ok9mZmljZS0tIyNpZDo6OjQyMTUy"
}

You can use the after_cursor value as a query parameter to make a call to retrieve the next page, or set, of results. The next_link value provides a premade endpoint URL using the after_cursor value, for your convenience.

The before_cursor and previous_link values are returned once you’ve made a call for a subsequent page of results. For example:

"pagination": {
   "before_cursor": "YWNjb3VudF9pZDo6Oi0tIyNpZDo6OjY3NzgxMjY",
   "after_cursor": "YWNjb3VudF9pZDo6Oi0tIyNpZDo6OjEyMzQzODMx",
   "previous_link": "https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?before_cursor=
      YWNjb3VudF9pZDo6Oi0tIyNpZDo6OjY3NzgxMjY",
   "next_link": "https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?after_cursor=
      YWNjb3VudF9pZDo6Oi0tIyNpZDo6OjEyMzQzODMx"
}

You can use the before_cursor value as a query parameter to retrieve the previous page of results. The previous_link value provides a premade request URL for your convenience.

Limit

When you call a resource API, include the limit query parameter to limit the number of resources returned.

For example, this call will return a set of 10 users:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?limit=10

Sort

When you call a resource API, include the sort query parameter to sort results by id attribute value.

Use the sort parameter with criteria of id and - to return resources sorted by id attribute value in descending order. For example:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?sort=-id

Use a + instead of - to sort in ascending order. For example:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/roles?sort=+id

Combining Parameters

You can combine use of any of the parameters discussed on this page to create very specific queries. Here are some examples:

To return type 5 events and display account ID and user ID for each event:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/events?event_type_id=5&fields=account_id, user_id

To return users originating from directory_id 123456, display only their email and username, in descending order by id:

https://<subdomain>.onelogin.com/api/1/users?directory_id=24689&sort=-id&fields=email, username
