title: Querying Users

The Query Users method allows you to search for users and see if they are online/offline.
The example below shows how you can retrieve the details for 3 users in one API call:
```dart
final _result = client.queryUsers(
filter: Filter.in_('id', ['john', 'jack', 'jessie']),
);
```
You can also add sort options and pagination to the query:
```dart
final _result = client.queryUsers(
filter: Filter.in_('id', ['john', 'jack', 'jessie']),
sort: [SortOption('last_active')],
pagination: PaginationParams(
offset: 0,
limit: 20,
),
);
```
You can filter and sort on the custom fields you've set for your user, the user id, and when the user was last active.
The options for the queryUser method are presence, limit, and offset.
If presence is true this makes sure you receive the user.presence.changed event when a user goes online or offline.
### Querying using the autocomplete operator
You can autocomplete the results of your user query by username and/or ID.
### By Custom Field
```dart
final _result = client.queryUsers(
filter: Filter.autoComplete('name', 'ro'),
);
```
This would return an array of any matching users, such as:
```json
[
{
"id": "userID",
"name": "Curiosity Rover"
},
{
"id": "userID2",
"name": "Roxy"
},
{
"id": "userID3",
"name": "Roxanne"
}
]
```
### By ID
```dart
final _result = client.queryUsers(
filter: Filter.autoComplete('id', 'USER_ID'),
);
```
