Getting User object with REST API

General
1

Hi, the REST API documentation:
http://www.backendless.com/documentation/users/rest/users_get_user_properties.htm
suggests that one can retrieve the User object given the objectID with (cURL shown):

curl -i -k -H application-id: -H secret-key:<REST API Key> -H application-type:REST -X GET ‘https://api.backendless.com/v1/users/<object ID>?props=property1, property2’

but this doesn’t seem to work. Are we doing something wrong? Also is there a way to retrieve all properties, something like:

curl -i -k -H application-id: -H secret-key:<REST API Key> -H application-type:REST -X GET https://api.backendless.com/v1/users/<object ID>

Do we instead have to use the Data service API to get the User object?

Hi Rick!
To retrieving all properties you can use request:

curl -X GET -H 'application-id : xxx' -H 'secret-key : xxx' [url=https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/Users/]https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/Users/&lt;objectId&gt;[/url];

To retrieve value for a specific property please try this request :

curl -X GET -H 'application-id : xxx' -H 'secret-key : xxx' [url=https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/Users/?props=email]https://api.backendless.com/v1/data/Users/&lt;objectId&gt;?props=email[/url]
