Error 404 while using sis_user_id to query for specific user.

[tomasz_sowinski]

I am on a second day of getting to know Canvas API.

the following URI returns 404 error

https://Canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/112233/users/sis_user_id:12345 

while 

https://Canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/112233/users

are happy to return a number of users.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Tom

I have the same issue!!!! I posted my question but didn't get any bites either, so I'm wondering if you have figured it out?

Hi @tomasz_sowinski ,

It looks like you are using the wrong endpoint.

/api/v1/accounts/112233/users - is for listing all users in the account

/api/v1/users/sis_user_id:12345 - is for getting a specific user by SIS ID.

Try:

https://Canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/users/sis_user_id:12345

Hi @tomasz_sowinski ,

https://Canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/112233/users - is for listing all users in the account.

To get a specific user by sis_user_id, use the /users instead of /accounts endpoint.

Try:

https://Canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/users/sis_user_id:12345
