get list of all users SharePoint using REST API

Question

I have the id of the user and I need to get his login name. I use REST API: there is my code :

function ReturnItemBY(fieldName, listname, id, url) {
    //Url should be _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl
    // var item = getListItems(url, listName, customquery, '', '');
    //ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(Start, "sp.js");
    var item = null;
    $.ajax({
        url: url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listname + "')/items(" + id + ")",
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            // Returning the results
            //alert(data);
            item = data.d;
        },
        async: false
    });
    return item.fieldName;


}

the problem is that he didnt know the name of the list which I put it "Users".

Dose any one know how can get it ,best regards.

You ask how to get users, yet your example code is about getting items. I'm not sure if I should show you how to get user in a field (with $expand) or how to get a user by id (from /Users). Sorry, but your question makes no sense to me — eirikb, Nov 22 '14 at 19:15

I know this question was asked long ago but it might help someone in the future.

If you want to get all the users in your Sharepoint site you can use :

/_api/web/siteusers?

If you want to get the properties of the current user on the site then you can use :

/_api/web/currentUser?

I hope this helps.

This is good thanks. I was able to get the Id of someone with this code _api/web/siteUsers?$select=Id,LoginName,Title,Email&$filter=Title eq 'FirstName SecondName' – Nathan Feb 03 '21 at 22:11

You may want to take a look at this link: Users, groups, and roles REST API reference. As noted by the comments from @eirikb and @Vadim, the url you are using will never give anything close to a list users.
