# Retrieve Users with Get Users by Email Endpoint

The [`GET /api/v2/users-by-email` endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Users_By_Email/get_users_by_email) allows you to search for users using their email addresses. The search looks for an exact match to the provided email address and is case-sensitive.

This endpoint is **immediately consistent**, and as such, we recommend that you use this endpoint for:

* User searches run during the authentication process.
* User searches run as part of the account linking process.

The request must include a [Management API access token](/docs/secure/tokens/access-tokens/management-api-access-tokens).

## Request example

Required Scopes: `read:users`

  ```bash cURL lines
  curl --request GET \
    --url 'https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/users-by-email?email=%7BuserEmailAddress%7D' \
    --header 'authorization: Bearer {yourMgmtApiAccessToken}'
  ```

  ```csharp C# lines
  var client = new RestClient("https://{yourDomain}/api/v2/users-by-email?email=%7BuserEmailAddress%7D");
  var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
  request.AddHeader("authorization", "Bearer {yourMgmtApiAccessToken}");
  IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
  ```
