Organization member email information through API

GitHub API Development and Support
#1

Hello,

         I am working on a script to pull the user information for my organization. I have the “owner” privileges for my org. If the user has not set a public email in their profile, I cannot get the email information through the API calls (both v3 and v4) . We do not want our org members to have to make their email visible / public ( under Settings > Account ) . Is there a way for me to pull the email addresses for all the org members , without making them visible / public.

Thank you

The email address (or addresses) that a user associates with their account belong to the user account, not to the organization. So no, there is no way to get the email addresses of all members of an organization without those users’ prior authorization.

I hope that helps.
