Can't get user information

WP-API only exposes user details after they’ve published one post. If they haven’t published a post, viewing the user requires the list_users capability.

Based on your error message, it appears to be a logged in request without sufficient capabilities to view the user.

I have add my super admin details as username and password, but I can’t see other users.

Does your super admin have a role on that particular site?

Let me explain clearly.
I have list of users, they shouldn’t post anything, they are my subscribers. So I want to get information about their role or status for third party app. If user status is suspended I want to stop the service. So my users shouldn’t work with posts or etc. they are just member of my Membership. In this case please let me know am I doing right working with WP API?

You’ll need to write some custom code to accommodate this use case, as it’s not something WP-API can support out of the box. WordPress’ permissions model is such that a user must have published a piece of content in order for their details to be publicly exposed.

If your requests are authorized and the requesting user can edit_user of that particular user, then you should be able to manage your users (e.g. change their details).

Why isn’t this information mentioned in the API dosc? I spent an hour to figure out a user should have a published post to be exposed via API.

Where would be the best place for it?

@goharika, did you figure out a solution for this?

I’m using WooCommerce subscriptions and trying to authenticate logins, but only getting back the admin account.

Hoping you (or someone else) can point me toward a solution?

Thanks.

UP !
The same by my side. Even changing this:

		if ( ! current_user_can( 'list_users' ) ) {
			$prepared_args['has_published_posts'] = true;
		}

to this :

		if ( ! current_user_can( 'list_users' ) ) {
			$prepared_args['has_published_posts'] = false;
		}

doesn’t work.

Sorry in fact this works, I just forgot to empty the cache. Doing it works perfectly as I have been able to even get users that never published.

Now I have an other question, if I don’t want to give any of my subscribers in order to keep privacy and to avoid brut force attack on a login name, how could we display no users when calling this endpoint /wp/v2/users/?
Is there something to change here :

if ( ! current_user_can( 'list_users' ) ) {
	$prepared_args['has_published_posts'] = true;
}
