With a git commit, I have access to the author and committer's email and I wish to map that to a user in Azure DevOps. I've done some due diligence in searching this up but I cannot find anything concrete. I've basically reached the same state as the following post: Getting user/users details based on user name/alias as parameter in azure devops
I can see on the Graph API page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/rest/api/azure/devops/graph/?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1) that this is not yet officially supported. The problem is as follows: is there a way to get back a user descriptor from simply an email?
Searching by UPN or Display Name
COMING SOON!
Often, identities are represented simply as display names such as
Jamal Hartnett or UPNs such as jamal#contoso.com. These are not
unique at any scope. Search is an resource that will take a text
string and run a search across an account or project to find all
potential matches. The more distinct the input, the better chance the
resource will return a single result. The search resource will accept
display names, aliases, UPNs, and email style strings such as Jamal
Hartnett jamal#contoso.com.
If the commit author email matches the pushed by email, I can use the IdentityRef object from that. But for other cases where this does not apply, I'm at a loss on how to map to a descriptor.
The problem is as follows: is there a way to get back a user descriptor from simply an email?
As far as I know, the official Rest API doesn't support obtaining descriptors by email.
But based on my test, it seems that this requirement is available.
You could get this Rest API in Browser Console tab when you filter the user in Organization Settings -> Users.
Rest API sample:
https://vsaex.dev.azure.com/Organization name/_apis/UserEntitlements?%24filter=name%20eq%20%27user#domain.com%27&%24&api-version=5.1-preview.3
Then you could get the user descriptor in the API result.
In addition ， the official Rest API supports to list all user Graph. You could get the user descriptor in the result too.
Hope this helps.

Referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/graph/groups/get?view=azure-devops-rest-6.0 that tells that 'The group will be returned even if it has been deleted from the account or has had all its memberships deleted.' - it is interesting how can I exclude deleted users/groups and get only 'clean' and actual response from Azure DevOps REST API, without deleted objects?
It looks that documentation above does not include filters to do that. At the same time, data that is returned (sample is given in documentation) does not contain any flags that would allow to do any filtering on client side.
Trying to search the internet did not bring any success so far.
Is it possible somehow to exclude deleted objects from Azure DevOps REST API response?
Thanks in advance.
The API you referred is getting a group by its descriptor. The descriptor is the primary way to reference the graph subject while the system is running. This field will uniquely identify the same graph subject across both Accounts and Organizations.
If the group is deleted, you'll see "isDeleted" argument is set to Ture. Check the screenshot below:
If you want to list all groups, you could use Groups - List api, this api won't return the deleted group.
#Cence Dong shed the light in his answer, but since I cannot attach images to comments - I post answer here.
isDeleted - property appears dynamically in each response in case the object was deleted.
Cance Dong showed example for getting group request using descriptor and mentioned that it won't happen if you get Groups List. However, my observation is (screenshot attached) that the same happens for List as well.
Conclusion - isDeleted property appears in all type of group requests if object was deleted.
From reading the technical documentation for ConnectyCube, there does not appear to be an API to enumerate registered users nor is there an API to test whether user is logged in. Is my understanding correct ?
Just figured out, I can tag the different users and enumerate based on the TAG.
Here you can use diff APIs to retrieve users https://developers.connectycube.com/flutter/authentication-and-users?id=retrieve-users
Also, there is chat activity last request at API https://developers.connectycube.com/flutter/messaging?id=get-last-activity
which can be used to determine whether a user is online or offline
Also, you may provide a detailed explanation what you gonna build, so there will be more specific suggestion
I'm looking for a graph API that returns me a list of previous name that were changed by the user.
One Way to do it manually is by going to Settings of your profile -> Download a copy of your Facebook data.
In the HTML files obtained it clearly mentions the previous names changed.
My question is there a graph API for the same ??
Thank you.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/real-time-updates/
There are fields for name, first name and last name. You can only subscribe to updates, but afaik there is no way to get past changes. But since you are required to use your real name on Facebook, it should not happen very often - unless you marry a lot ;)
Getting other details is easy, but there doesn't seem to be any API accessible way to get a list of users (or even approximate users) for the audience. You can add them, and delete them (?!) but not enumerate all the users in the list.
Is that truly the case, or am I missing something?
According to the documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/custom-audience-targeting/ you should be able to see an approximate count.
There is no way to get the users back from the custom audience list by design.
For the audiences you never upload raw contact data. You always have to hash it via SHA256 and send the feed to Facebook that way. Since you have not provided the actual contact information like email, phone number facebook won't give those back to you it would be an information breach in a way.
If what you are asking is whether you can retrieve back the hashes that you have sent, I have not been able to find a way it on the API so I assume they think that you already have that list since you uploaded it in the first place.

I am using the GA Data Export API to interact with Google Analytics and I'm making a lot of progress, I am using this URL Endpoint initially to pull all the profiles under an account:
https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default
This URL retrieves each GA ID (profile) and each UA. One thing I've realized is one account can contain multiple UAs and when this happens, this request pulls all profiles. We have a client who has about 115 profiles under like 10 different UAs, and the request takes about 30 seconds for the initial request (and then I believe it must be cached, because it speeds up considerably after this, but then the next day the same thing occurs).
Is there a way to get a list of UA's without pulling the profiles? This way I can query the UA specifically for the profiles instead of pulling each one.
Any advice on this would be really helpful!
Thanks
UPDATE: Here's some documentation on the specific call I am using right now:
http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceAccountFeed.html
UPDATE 1: I have found some interesting information in the docs
Once your application has verified
that the user has Analytics access,
its next step is to find out which
Analytics accounts the user has access
to. Remember, users can have access to
many different accounts, and within
them, many different profiles. For
this reason, your application cannot
access any report information without
first requesting the list of accounts
available to the user. The resulting
accounts feed returns that list, but
most importantly, the list also
contains the account profiles that the
user can view.
So this means that you have to use the default accounts call to get these back? Surely, somebody has had this issue before?
So apparently, you can query the account if you know the UA-ID, however there is no way to get back a list of only UA IDs.
One way you can do it is have the user enter their own UA ID instead of having them choose one; not as user-friendly as it could be but better than making the user wait 30 seconds!
