User Search Sometimes Does Not Return Newly Created Users
Last Updated:
Overview
We are running automated tests that involve creating a user and then trying to find that user by calling this user search endpoint: /api/v2/users?q=<EMAIL>
We have noticed that occasionally, nothing is found even though a user was just created with the email we are searching for.
Applies To
- User Search
- New Created Users
Cause
As mentioned in our public docs, the GET /api/v2/users endpoint is eventually consistent. This means that search results may not reflect a recently-completed write operation. However, if the request is repeated after a some period of time, the response will eventually return up-to-date data.
