Retrieve Users with Get Users by ID Endpoint

The GET /api/v2/users/{id} endpoint allows you to retrieve a specific user using their Auth0 user ID.

This endpoint is immediately consistent, and as such, we recommend that you use this endpoint for:

User searches run during the authentication process.
User searches run as part of the account linking process.

The user ID should be URL encoded since it may contain characters that do not work well in a URL.

Required Scopes: read:users
