Consultar datos de usuarios terceros

Si no tienes el id, pero conoces el nickname y el site al que pertenece un usuario, podrás obtenerlo con la siguiente búsqueda.


Llamada:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?nickname=$NICKNAME

Ejemplo:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/MLA/search?nickname=TETE2870021

Respuesta:

{
  "site_id": "MLA",
  "seller": {
  "id": 202593498,
  "seller_reputation": {
    "power_seller_status": null
  },
  "real_estate_agency": false,
  "car_dealer": false,
  "tags": [
  ]
  }

Si deseas consultar los datos de usuarios terceros, podrás identificar dos niveles de información: los datos públicos, aquellos que puedes encontrar navegando el perfil en MercadoLibre de cualquier otro usuario y los datos privados, que no serán visibles a menos que tengas los permisos del usuario y un token válido para trabajar en su nombre. En ambos casos, lo primero que deberás conocer es el id del usuario.
