splitwise_get_user
Fetch a Splitwise user's public profile by ID to get their name, email, and registration status, turning raw ids in expenses or debts into real people.
Instructions
Get another Splitwise user's public profile by id: name, email, registration status.
Calls GET /get_user/{id}. Splitwise only answers for users you are connected to —
a friend, or someone who shares a group with you — and for yourself.
When to Use:
To turn a user id seen in an expense, debt or notification into a name and email.
To check whether someone is a
confirmeduser or adummy/invitedplaceholder.
When NOT to Use:
For yourself with notification settings, currency and locale (use
splitwise_get_current_user).To find a user id from a name (use
splitwise_resolve_friend).For balances with that person (use
splitwise_get_friend/splitwise_get_balances).
Returns:
Markdown (default): First Last (id N) <email> and the registration status
(confirmed | dummy | invited). JSON: the raw Splitwise user object (incl. picture).
Examples:
params = {"user_id": 491923}params = {"user_id": 491923, "response_format": "json"}
Error Handling:
403 when the user is neither your friend nor in a group with you; 404 when the id
does not exist; 401 when the API key is missing or revoked. Every failure comes back
as an Error ... string.
