Username from user mail

I am using confluence server 7.13.7. Is there a way through which I can get a user’s username through the user’s mail?

I want to get a user's name on the basis of their email. I will have the list of user emails in a confluence instance and I want to fetch their username so that I can use it for making other API calls to get some more details about that particular user. I will also have the required administrative privileges to make such API calls.

Solution 
  • com.atlassian.user.search.SearchResult getUsersByEmail(String email)

    This is deprecated but still works and knowing atlassian , will work for years to come... :)

    from official website:
