Get users from Showcase API

[lenybernard]

Hi,

I try to get the users from the showcase API and it works but I have a problem.
I have a typehead text input (select2) where I type some terms, for example a firstname, Matthieu. From here the widget call an action which run the users/search api method. I get 10 results, 10 Matthieu : amazing.

The problem is that actually, I've more than just 10 matthieu and regarding to the api documentation, I have to get paginated results and can't specify the number of items I want to get back, so I'm stacked with 10 results.

Could you please, at least allow to specify the max per page of users to get back or simply set a non-paginated mode ?

We can't have a non paginated mode (we will have performance issues if the number of user is too high).
On the search you can set a offset and limit, but you'll be in all case limited to 25 users max per page.

Try to call the search API with the parameter light=1 to speed results.

Indeed allowing a max parameter for the search method would be a good idea.
But, even if we allow the user to specify a max number of results, we are going to limit it to 50 results.
Is that enough for you?

btw, select2 has a built in feature that might very well suits your needs. Search for infinite scroll in the Select2 documentation ( http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/ ).

And this is only for "http://showcase.doyoubuzz.com/api/v1/users/search", not the "http://showcase.doyoubuzz.com/api/v1/dyb/search" method.
