User object type
Properties
The User object type has the following properties:
- avatarLink (ImageLink)
- A link to an image representing this user.
- displayName (string)
- The user's chosen display name.
- email (string)
- (Deprecated) The user's email address. This property is only provided for authenticated requests if the user has shared it with the authenticated application, and the authenticated user is allowed to view it (as with administrators of groups the user has joined). In all other cases, this property is omitted.
- gender (string)
- (Deprecated) The user's gender, as they provided it. This property is only provided for authenticated requests if the user has shared it with the authenticated application, and the authenticated user is allowed to view it (as with administrators of groups the user has joined). In all other cases, this property is omitted.
- id (string)
- A URI that serves as a globally unique identifier for the object.
- interests (array<string>)
- (Deprecated) A list of interests provided by the user and displayed on the user's profile page. Use the interests property of the UserProfile object, which can be retrieved from the /users/<id>/profile endpoint.
- location (string)
- (Deprecated) The user's location, as a free-form string provided by them. Use the the location property of the related UserProfile object, which can be retrieved from the /users/<id>/profile endpoint.
- objectType (string)
- The keyword identifying the type of object this is. For a User object, objectType will be User.
- objectTypes (set<string>)
- (Deprecated) An array of object type identifier URIs.
- preferredUsername (string)
- The name the user has chosen for use in the URL of their TypePad profile page. This property can be used to select this user in URLs, although it is not a persistent key, as the user can change it at any time.
- profilePageUrl (string)
- The URL of the user's TypePad profile page.
- urlId (string)
- A string containing the canonical identifier that can be used to identify this object in URLs. This can be used to recognise where the same user is returned in response to different requests, and as a mapping key for an application's local data store.
