Which kind of authentication for search user by name

[felpone]

Hello, I’ve created an app only authorization to develope a mobile application. The problem is that I can find users by screen_name but I can’t find they by name.
How can I do that?

Hello Stefano,

Using the [node:10366] endpoint and the q parameter, you can search for users by full name. However, this endpoint requires a user context and cannot work with application-only authentication.

Please let us know if you can share a bit more about what you are trying to achieve on your mobile app so we can help you further. Thanks!
