Name fields missing from User and Share objects?

Hello,

I am making a couple requests through the API to get the users on the account and a shares for a specific sheet. The documentation says that objects returned for shares will have a name, and that the objects returned for the user objects will have name, firstName, and lastName. However, I am receiving responses that lack these parameters on the objects. Is this expected?

  • Hi @hrachid

    As long as your account is shared to the sheet in question, you should see a name field along with other data. Here's an example test request I sent in Postman:

    If you're not shared to the sheet, you should see a "not shared" error message.

    The same thing with the List Users request, this is what I see returned:

    If these fields aren't showing up, is it possible that your account is perhaps on a discontinued plan?

    Cheers,
