@<1529271085315395584:profile|AmusedCat74> users.user is simply not an endpoint supported by the server 🙂 what you're looking for is users.get_by_id (with the user query field containing the ID)

This is the definitions section, it describes returned objects, not endpoints

Is there documentation for this as I was not able to figure this out unfortunately.

Is there a way I can do this with the python APIClient or even with the requests library?

Ah ok

You certainly can do it with the python APIClient OR through the requests library

According to the documentation users.user should be a valid endpoint?

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" -X GET 

{"meta":{"id":"ed6c52d030f240a89f001b447ee64a6b","trx":"ed6c52d030f240a89f001b447ee64a6b","endpoint":{"name":"debug.ping","requested_version":"2.26","actual_version":"1.0"},"result_code":200,"result_subcode":0,"result_msg":"OK","error_stack":null,"error_data":{},"alarms":{}},"data":{"msg":"Hello World"}}%

Any explanation for why I'm seeing the above behaviour? The debug.ping and projects.get_all endpoints work as expected but the users.user does not work.

None

Also, regarding the APIClient, it was not designed to facilitate user management or server administration (which is why is does not have these endpoints set)

I think it is supported only through the API 🙂

Furthermore, when using APIClient() , users is not a valid endpoint at all.

class APIClient(object):

    auth = None  # type: Any
    queues = None  # type: Any
    tasks = None  # type: Any
    workers = None  # type: Any
    events = None  # type: Any
    models = None  # type: Any
    projects = None  # type: Any
