Search for user via provided_id via API?

On a backend microservice, I would like to be able to iterate my users table and pull down latest data in order to cache the user profile details with the most recent and update my table. To do this most effectively, I would need to be able to hit /api/v1/users with the provided_id matching the UUID from my users table. How can this be done?

Hi @Zanoryt, Are you able to elaborate on what you are trying to achieve? Do you want to store an up-to-date local user database that has all the user data information of your users in Kinde?

I want to regularly associate existing users with their kinde id and details in the database

When you say "in the database" are you referring to your own database? Do you want to store the Kinde user ID (and other user details) in your own database?

Yes, in my own existing database. That is right. I imported existing users into kinde and populated the provided_id already. Now, ongoing, I want to have a cron that looks for users in my db that do not have the kinde_id populated, and query kinde API using the provided_id (my db's user id) to backfill the kinde_id and additional details. Then, I want to regularly query to update those additional details (such as the picture url, and other things in the user profile).

Hey @Zanoryt, Sounds like you want to keep your own user database in sync with Kinde's user database, is that right? If I am understanding you correctly it sounds like sign-up and a user details change webhook events would help you here? Is that right?

Yes, that would!

Noted. Let's say you receieved a new sign-up notification, would you go into Kinde and then add the provided_id of that user?

Would you add those additional details against a user in Kinde or in your own user database?

Two scenarios: 1) after initial import to Kinde, all provided_id are provided to Kinde, but the original database does not yet have kinde_id's (would be great to be able to filter on provided_id to get the kinde user object to backfill the DB) 2) new users sign up, using Kinde, a webhook calls backend API to register a user in the database (new user), or if a matching existing user (provided_id) but has a new authentication type. Just curious. Are the webhooks available now? Or is an API addition in the works?
