Hi. Do you have a rough ETA on when there will be an admin API route to fetch an Identity by email?

You’re in luck :slightly_smiling_face: We just released an update, that includes a new parameter to lookup identities by email.

We still need to add the documentation on that, but in the meantime, you can use the `credentials_identifier` query parameter on the listIdentities admin endpoint to lookup identities by email.

Best timed question ever <@U0496BFFFL1> :)
We’ll share an announcement when docs are in place too

For example: `/admin/identities?credentials_identifier=mail%<http://40example.com|40example.com>`

Yes, our initial implementation is pretty limited, as it also doesn’t allow for sub-text search. We are working on improving this as well though.

No worries. That will work for now. Thanks.

See also <https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api#tag/identity/operation/listIdentities> :slightly_smiling_face:

Now I can rip out the code that was checking if an identity with a given email exists by trying to create a new identity and checking for a 409 status.

The parameter should work with usernames too!

(If these are your credentials identifier)

<@U03HLFCQ3CN> can you possibly have a look at my sdk error? just so i can stop poking around :smile:

Taking a look, will need to route to an engineer on our end tho :)
