Fetch members for a team

[WcaleNieWolny]

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to call all members of team red. Currently, there is no good way to do that.
There exists a https://chat.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/users API on the StreamVideo backend, but there is no call to easily access it from the SDK.

If possible, how can you achieve this currently?

    // Fetch members for a team
    private func getMembersForTeam(teamName: String) async throws -> [String] {
        guard let streamVideo = streamVideo else {
            throw NSError(domain: "StreamCallPlugin", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "StreamVideo not initialized"])
        }
        
        guard let credentials = SecureUserRepository.shared.loadCurrentUser() else {
            throw NSError(domain: "StreamCallPlugin", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Credentials not found"])
        }
        
        // Create URL for the Stream Chat API
        var urlComponents = URLComponents(string: "https://chat.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/users")!
        
        // Create the filter payload
        let filterPayload: [String: Any] = [
            "filter_conditions": [
                "teams": [
                    "$in": [teamName]
                ]
            ]
        ]
        
        // Convert payload to JSON string
        let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: filterPayload)
        let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8)!
        
        // Add payload as query parameter
        urlComponents.queryItems = [URLQueryItem(name: "payload", value: jsonString)]
        
        // Create URL request
        var request = URLRequest(url: urlComponents.url!)
        request.httpMethod = "GET"
        
        request.addValue("Bearer \(credentials.tokenValue)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
        
        // Perform the request
        let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)
        
        // Check response status
        guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpResponse.statusCode == 200 else {
            throw NSError(domain: "StreamCallPlugin", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Failed to fetch team members"])
        }
        
        // Parse the response
        let responseObject = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any]
        guard let users = responseObject?["users"] as? [[String: Any]] else {
            throw NSError(domain: "StreamCallPlugin", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Invalid response format"])
        }
        
        // Extract user IDs
        let memberIds = users.compactMap { $0["id"] as? String }
        return memberIds
    }

What would be the better way?

Get a proper SDK to do this

Hi @WcaleNieWolny,

Thanks for reaching out with this question. The use case you are interested in should be possible using our queryMembers functionality. You can find more info here.

Best regards,

Hi, thank you for your response. I've looked into this API before creating this issue, and it is not what I am looking for. Please note now that the API you provided is only for getting users from a call. I need to get all the users for a team before creating a call, not after it's created.

Essentially, I want to get all the members of a given team and call all of them. I know that I can use the https://chat.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/users api, but I also know that it's not integrated into the SDK

Hi,
This is not supported in the video SDK at the moment. If you are also using our chat SDK, you can do it with the ChatUserListController, where you can specify a filter to fetch those users (it uses the same API you mentioned under the hood). Although, usually customers fetch the users from their systems in cases like this.

Atm, I can't provide a timeline when we can expose this feature on the video SDK.
