What is the format for the Directory.users().list().setQuery method?

Question

The documentation states:

Query string for prefix matching searches. Should be of the form "key":"value" where key can be "email", "firstName" or "lastName".

I've tried:

directory.users().list().setQuery("email:" + email).execute()

directory.users().list().setQuery("\"email\":\"" + email + "\"").execute()

directory.users().list().setQuery("email:\"" + email + "\"").execute()

They all return a 400 : Bad Request response. How do I properly filter on the email address? Thank you!

Answer 1

Currently the list API supports only prefix queries, please refer to the documentation for query parameter here.

Try with query as "email:[email protected]*" -> Note the asterisk at the end.

Answer 2

Here's the way to get a user by email address.

directory.users().get(userKey=email).execute()

Code to search for a user by email address should be something like

directory.users().list(query='email:[email protected]').execute()

but this doesn't work. I suspect a bug in Google's API docs, or possibly in the actual implementation.
