List all users

Get a paginated list of all users and their details using the GetUsers() method.

By default, this method returns all custom user metadata without the need to define that during the call explicitly.

Usage in Blueprints and C++

Requires App Context

To store data about users, you must enable App Context for your app's keyset in the Admin Portal.

If you have Access Manager enabled in your app, uncheck the Disallow Get All User Metadata option in the App Context configuration in the Admin Portal – this way you can get metadata of all users without the need to define that in the permissions schema included in the authentication token.

C++ / Input parameters

Chat->GetUsers(
    FString Filter = "", 
    FString Sort = "", 
    int Limit = 0, 
    FPubnubPage Page = FPubnubPage()
);

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Filter	FString	No	n/a	Expression used to filter the results. Returns only these channels whose properties satisfy the given expression are returned. The filter language is defined here.
Sort	FString	No	n/a	Key-value pair of a property to sort by, and a sort direction. Available options are id, name, and updated. Use asc or desc to specify the sorting direction, or specify null to take the default sorting direction (ascending). For example: {name: "asc"}. By default, the items are sorted by the last updated date.
Limit	int	No	100	Number of objects to return in response. The default (and maximum) value is 100.
Page	FPubnubPage	No	n/a	Object used for pagination to define which previous or next result page you want to fetch.
→ Next	FString	No	n/a	Random string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for forward pagination, it fetches the next page, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
→ Prev	FString	No	n/a	Random string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for backward pagination, it fetches the previous page, enabling access to earlier data. Ignored if the Next parameter is supplied.

Output

Parameter	Type	Description
FPubnubUsersResponseWrapper	struct	Returned object containing three fields: Users, Page, and Total.
→ Users	TArray<UPubnubUser*>	Array of all matching users.
→ Page	FPubnubPage	String that lets you either fetch the next (Next) or previous (Prev) result page.
→ Next	FString	Random string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for forward pagination, it fetches the next page, allowing you to continue from where you left off.
→ Prev	FString	Random string returned from the server, indicating a specific position in a data set. Used for backward pagination, it fetches the previous page, enabling access to earlier data. Ignored if the Next parameter is supplied.
→ Total	int	Total number of User objects matching the request query.

Basic usage

Fetch all existing user IDs.

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
#include "PubnubChatSubsystem.h"

UGameInstance* GameInstance = UGameplayStatics::GetGameInstance(this);
UPubnubChatSubsystem* PubnubChatSubsystem = GameInstance->GetSubsystem<UPubnubChatSubsystem>();

UPubnubChat* Chat = PubnubChatSubsystem ->InitChat("demo", "demo", "my_user");

FPubnubUsersResponseWrapper Users = Chat->GetUsers();

Other examples

Pagination

Get the total number of 25 users and then specify that you want to fetch the results from the next page using a string that was previously returned from the PubNub server.

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
#include "PubnubChatSubsystem.h"

UGameInstance* GameInstance = UGameplayStatics::GetGameInstance(this);
UPubnubChatSubsystem* PubnubChatSubsystem = GameInstance->GetSubsystem<UPubnubChatSubsystem>();

UPubnubChat* Chat = PubnubChatSubsystem ->InitChat("demo", "demo", "my_user");

FPubnubUsersResponseWrapper Users = Chat->GetUsers();
// Fetch the first 25 users (result page 1)
int Limit = 25;
FPubnubUsersResponseWrapper UsersResponsePage1 = Chat->GetUsers("", "", Limit);

// Process the first page of users
for (UPubnubUser* User : UsersResponsePage1.Users)

Archived users

Get all archived users. This request will return all soft-deleted users whose data is still stored in the App Context storage.

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"
#include "PubnubChatSubsystem.h"

UGameInstance* GameInstance = UGameplayStatics::GetGameInstance(this);
UPubnubChatSubsystem* PubnubChatSubsystem = GameInstance->GetSubsystem<UPubnubChatSubsystem>();

UPubnubChat* Chat = PubnubChatSubsystem ->InitChat("demo", "demo", "my_user");

FString Filter = "status=='deleted'";

// Fetch all archived users with the filter applied
FPubnubUsersResponseWrapper ArchivedUsersResponse = Chat->GetUsers(Filter);

// Process and log the archived users
for (UPubnubUser* User : ArchivedUsersResponse.Users)
