# OtherUserResource
> Complete API reference for other user lookup operations in SpecklePy
## Overview
The `OtherUserResource` provides methods for looking up other users on the Speckle server. Access it via `client.other_user` after authenticating your `SpeckleClient`.
Use this resource to search for users by name or email, or retrieve public profile information for specific users.
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
from specklepy.api.client import SpeckleClient
client = SpeckleClient(host="https://app.speckle.systems")
client.authenticate_with_token(token)
# Access other user operations
user = client.other_user.get("user_id")
```
## Methods
### get()
Get public profile information for another user by their ID.
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
client.other_user.get(id: str) -> Optional[LimitedUser]
```
**Parameters:**
The ID of the user to retrieve
**Returns:**
The user's public profile, or `None` if not found
**Example:**
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
user = client.other_user.get("other_user_id_here")
if user:
print(f"Name: {user.name}")
print(f"Bio: {user.bio}")
print(f"Company: {user.company}")
print(f"Avatar: {user.avatar}")
print(f"Verified: {user.verified}")
print(f"Role: {user.role}")
else:
print("User not found")
```
See [LimitedUser](#limiteduser) for property details.
This method returns limited public profile information. Email addresses and other private information are not included. Use `client.active_user.get()` to access your own full profile.
### user\_search()
Search for users by name or email.
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
client.other_user.user_search(
query: str,
*,
limit: int = 25,
cursor: Optional[str] = None,
archived: bool = False,
emailOnly: bool = False
) -> UserSearchResultCollection
```
**Parameters:**
Search query (minimum 3 characters)
Maximum number of results to return
Cursor for pagination
Include archived users
Search email addresses only
**Returns:**
Search results with pagination cursor
**Example:**
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
# Search for users by name
results = client.other_user.user_search("john", limit=10)
print(f"Found {len(results.items)} users:")
for user in results.items:
print(f" - {user.name} ({user.company})")
if user.verified:
print(f" ✓ Verified")
# Paginate through more results
if results.cursor:
next_page = client.other_user.user_search(
"john",
cursor=results.cursor
)
```
**Search by Email:**
```python lines icon="python" theme={null}
# Search email addresses only
results = client.other_user.user_search(
"john@example.com",
emailOnly=True
)
if results.items:
user = results.items[0]
print(f"Found: {user.name} ({user.email if hasattr(user, 'email') else 'email hidden'})")
```
