Hi! Is it possible to find out how many of our users are using TOTP? Ory copilot suggests the identities API, and I can get the information per user through it, but iterating through the entire userbase starts getting 504 responses from the API after a while. (CC @kind-cricket-67361)

Why not list all the identities at once using list identity?

We are also working on improved search functionality, not sure it that will cover it. But right now the listIdentities API is your best bet: https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api#tag/identity/operation/listIdentities (link might be a bit broken but its the first operation in the identity/admin APIs)

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂! That is how I am currently iterating the entire userbase (

/admin/identities?page_size=500&include_credential=totp

), then from the response I use the

rel="next"

to get the next page of users, and so on. This goes great for a while, but at some point the API starts returning HTTP 504 status codes. Backing off and retrying with increasing delays did not get me past this.

Just to clarify, I run into HTTP 504 status codes before I get to the end of the userbase. If I could add a search or filter to the list identities API like

&totp=enabled

the number of users to be fetched would be a lot less and I might be able to get them all before getting 504s. Do you think something like that would be covered by the upcoming search functionality @magnificent-energy-493? Any other options come to mind for the short term?
