Querying Members
Confused about "Querying Members"?
Let us know how we can improve our documentation:
The queryMembers endpoint allows you to list and paginate members for a channel. The endpoint supports filtering on numerous criteria to efficiently return member information. This endpoint is useful for channels that have large lists of members and you want to search members or if you want to display the full list of members for a channel.
Pagination and ordering
Copied!By default members are ordered from oldest to newest and can be paginated using offset-based pagination or by created_at or user_id fields.
Pagination by offset is the simplest to implement but it can lead to incorrect results if the list of members changes while you are paginating.
The recommended approach is to paginate by "created_at" or by "user_id".
Here’s some example of how you can query the list of members:
