Consulta Usuarios

Si ya lograste registrar tu aplicación, autenticarte y generar un usuario de Test, el siguiente paso a seguir es aprender a trabajar con usuarios (vendedores y compradores).

Registrarme como inmobiliaria (opcional)

Si eres una inmobiliaria, puedes registrar tu usuario como tal para obtener acceso a nuestros paquetes promocionales para inmobiliarias. Para hacerlo, accede a la sección Ayuda > Configuración de mi cuenta > Registrarme como empresa, concesionaria e inmobiliaria.



Una vez allí, haz clic en la pestaña “Tus datos y registración” y luego, en el link “Registrarme como inmobiliaria”. A este paso no se puede acceder a través de la API, pero podrás verlo una vez que te registres como inmobiliaria.


Consultar mis datos personales

Si te encuentras logueado en Mercado Libre y tienes un token podrás hacer la siguiente llamada y conocer qué información se encuentra relacionada a tu usuario:

Consultar datos de usuarios terceros

Si deseas consultar los datos de usuarios terceros, podrás identificar dos niveles de información: los datos públicos, aquellos que puedes encontrar navegando el perfil en Mercado Libre de cualquier otro usuario y los datos privados, que no serán visibles a menos que tengas los permisos del usuario y un token válido para trabajar en su nombre. En ambos casos, lo primero que deberás conocer es el id del usuario.



¿Cómo obtener el Id de un usuario?

Llamada:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?nickname=$NICKNAME
