I don't have any other ideas.
I've tried to use limit=2 and it is working as expected in my case.

Ok I got it but now have the same timeout problem as the groups endpoint. It seems disregarding the limit parameter

Goker,
I'm not sure about what you are looking for but a good starting point would be:
{{cognos_base_url}}/api/api-docs/#/accounts

Ok I did that right but I thought I should replace namespace_folder with my folder name. It worked as yo stated. Then I have another question. How do a traverse subfolders under the namespace? putting them between CAMID and items?
e.g.
{{cognos_base_url}}/api/v1/namespace_folder/xQ31nbmRyRXg_/{{namespace_subfolder}}/items?limit=100&offset=0&types=role&fields=id,defaultName,searchPath

Did you try this syntax below (replace xQ31nbmRyRXg_ with your id)?
{{cognos_base_url}}/api/v1/namespace_folder/xQ31nbmRyRXg_/items?limit=100&offset=0&types=role&fields=id,defaultName,searchPath

I am using the dispatcher url not the gateway and other endpoints are working fine

Another thing to check - make sure the gateway url is correct. So for my sandbox environment it would be https://cognos.pmsquare.com/sandbox/bi/v1/etc
The 404 would indicate that it's not getting to the Cognos application at all

Hi Goker,
Would you be able to try with:
{{cognos_base_url}}/api/v1/namespace_folder/xQ31nbmRyRXg_/items?limit=100&offset=0&types=role&fields=id,defaultName,searchPath
I've got a result (200 OK) with this syntax. Note: I'm not using an AD namespace.
Best regards,

Hi Goker,
Does it work with &fields=* instead of what you have?
Is it working with another namespace?

When I query against the AD namespace I get 404 errors on CA 12.1. What can be the problem?

Try something like this:
URL: GATEWAY+'/v1/namespaces/'+ NamespaceID+'/search'
params:
- types=account
- method=contains
- fields=id,userName,surname,givenName,email,searchPath
- filter=searchTerm
this is against the pm2 environment:

I can query now but looks like there is one mintue timeout setting by default as there are too many members in the group. Does anyone know the timeout setting or possible paginated query via REST? Thanks.

Hi, team. Just wondering if we can make a REST api call to get a user's CAMID by defaultName or email, which would be quite convenient to connect back to Planning Analytics. Thanks.
By the way, in CA 11.1, looks like REST API returns nothing by call members of a folder like this /groups/{id}/members? The id here is the folder ID.
