1787954 - Certain fields missing from get user API when added by extensions and specifically requested with include_fields

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: API, defect)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

The way extensions add fields to the user data that is returned by the GET /rest/user/<user> API endpoint can break if the client asks for those fields specifically. This is due to the id attribute missing for each each user result to be returned. I will refactor the way the extension hook works by returning a list of user objects as well as the resulting data that will be returned. This will make sure that the id attribute and others that might be needed will always be accessible by the extension code.

Based on your explanation, I found that the fields will not be missing if I request the id field (e.g., include_fields=id,requests).
