    The only way to use the API is whit this Employee ID? Could I use the email or other internal ID?

    Hi @Luis De Seta 👋🏻

     

    You can use the Employee ID from the URL as shown by Dexter above, or the employees email address. 😀

    Hi Maital!
    I will use People Search endpoint to get the employee ID because I need it in other endpoint.

    I have to write some code, but its ok. Thsnks for your help!

      As Luis as mentioned, if you only have the email or the employees name, the workaround to match the employees backend ID would be to use the People Search endpoint and add the following field IDs:

       

      root.email

      root.displayName

       

      The backend employee ID will then be returned along with the email and display name of the user:
