Get User - BlobHub

Retrieve information about a specific user.

GET `/users/:id`

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	Yes	The unique ID or alias of the user to retrieve.

Response

Parameter	Type	Description
`user`	object	The user object data.

Example

curl -X GET https://api.blobhub.io/v1/users/user_123

{
  "status": "success",
  "user": {
    "id": "user_123",
    "name": "Jane Doe",
    "alias": "janedoe",
    "type": "human",
    "status": "active",
    "role": "read"
  }
}

type (human or service) and status (active or retired) appear on every user object — see Service Accounts for what a service account is and what retired means for one.

Identifier

The id parameter accepts a UUID, alias, or me.

Permissions

Any authenticated caller can retrieve any user’s full record — there is no self/other distinction and no field redaction on this endpoint. The only thing that changes with the caller is role, which is injected onto the response and is never a stored attribute of the account itself:

Caller	`role` in the response
Self	`owner`
Other	`read`

Read access is unrestricted; write access is not — Update User is still self-only (or owner-only, for a service account).
