We realized on Saturday that the API actually returns much less information than we'd like - we want to display the users images, and all we'd receive as a community site is the email address and vouched status. Our workaround would be to use the gravatar image based on the email address, but it seems like an ugly solution. We're also not able to link to the mozillians profile or display the name...

Hello Colin, since you filled this request we have pushed live the APIv2. Can you please review the documentation and make sure that we supply all the info you need?

If not we can figure out a way to serve you. Thanks!

Hi Pierros,

Ah, I wasn't aware v2 was already live - nice!
We'd use one of these calls: /api/v2/users/?api-key=12345&group=switzerland or /api/v2/users/?api-key=12345&country=Switzerland

And we'd like to receive back the photo, is_public, story_link, and url attributes (based on a quick glance).

I just registered the API key, so I guess this bug is to elevate the privileges of that to receive the attributes listed above.

Thanks!

Actually, it was just pointed out to me that I can get these attributes on the user. I'll test/implement soon, but it seems that resolves my issue :)

Let's close this one then and reopen a more specific one if we should need anything more :)

Thanks for the help everyone!
