REST API Get member by name

[goldmorphin]

Hello!

Any ideas how i can check exist member or not? I can get member by ID, but if i want do it from another resource i have only name. /core/members generated a lot of pages (~20 000).
Maybe you can add in REST API function to get member by name?

This is something we are considering already internally. The ability to 'search' members through the API by name, email, group, etc.

Bump! 

More than a month. Any news? Is it really that hard?

Certainly not, they probably discuss it because of other reasons. I also needed such a endpoint but I was in the sweet spot that I could also simply query my database instead of going through the REST Api

I'm afraid that simply because something isn't too difficult does not mean we can implement everything suggested or requested near immediately.

This is something we have discussed and I expect we will see some changes in this area in the near future. Unfortunately I can't really say much more beyond that at this time.

Any moves?

Without making any promises, I do expect that we'll see some changes in this area in an upcoming major release, yes. We have a high interest in making good realistic improvements to the REST API throughout each version release.
