Find a user by email address in Confluence and Bitbucket using Java API/SDK

[Sooxin]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a plugin for Jira/Bitbucket/Confluence Server, and for some reasons, I need to get a user by searching its email address, then I try to find an API like this:

User user = userService.getUserByEmail(givenEmail)

I eventually found one such API in Jira:

Iterable<ApplicationUser> users = ComponentAccessor.getUserSearchService().findUsersByEmail(email);

But I wonder if there‘re any APIs like that in Confluence or Bitbucket? Or any other APIs that I can use to search users by email address?

Thanks so much.

I just found such an API in Bitbucket:

ComponentLocator.getComponent(com.atlassian.bitbucket.user.UserService.class).findUserByEmail(email)

And I found it for Confluence:

bucket.user.UserAccessor#getUsersByEmail

Although it's deprecated, but we can refer its implemention.

(For Confluence) Such as：

/**
 * @param email
 * @return
 * @see DefaultUserAccessor#getUsersByEmail(String)
 */
private SearchResult getUsersByEmail(String email) {
    if (!TextUtils.stringSet(email)) {
        return new DefaultSearchResult();
    } else {
        SearchResult<com.atlassian.user.User> results = null;
        EmailTermQuery emailQuery = new EmailTermQuery(email);

        try {
            results = entityQueryParser.findUsers(emailQuery);
            results = ComponentLocator.getComponent(EntityQueryParser.class).findUsers(emailQuery);
        } catch (EntityException var5) {
            log.error(var5.getMessage());
        }

        return results;
    }
}
