Get a member

GEThttps://api.fieldtask.example/public/v1/members/{resource_id}

Permission

members:read

Returns one active member of your organization by their member ID.

Use the id from List members, from a job's assignee_member_ids, or from a member event. It's a membership ID, not a user account ID. The member must be active in the organization your credential is connected to; otherwise the response is 404 resource_not_found, the same as for an ID that doesn't exist.

members:read	No dependencies

The member has the same fields as in List members. There's no MCP tool for this endpoint: AI clients find members with fieldtask_list_members.

Removed members

Once a person is removed from the organization or their account is deactivated, their member ID returns 404 resource_not_found. If you keep member IDs, for example as job assignees in your own system, treat a 404 as "no longer an active member" rather than as an error in your request. Member events tell you when this happens; see Event types.

Errors

This endpoint accepts no query parameters.

Status	code	Meaning	What to do
400	invalid_query	The URL has a query string. This endpoint accepts none.	Remove the query string.
401	invalid_token	The bearer token is missing, malformed, expired, revoked or issued for a different resource (for example an MCP sign-in).	Send a current REST API token or REST OAuth access token as Authorization: Bearer ….
403	api_access_not_enabled	FieldTask hasn't enabled API access for this organization, or has disabled it.	An owner or admin requests access in Settings → API connections.
403	insufficient_scope	The connection lacks a permission this request needs. error.code is missing_permission.	Add the permission named in error.message to the connection.
404	resource_not_found	No active member with this ID exists in your organization: the ID is wrong or isn't a member ID, the person was removed, or member reads aren't enabled in this environment.	Look the person up again with GET /public/v1/members. Don't substitute a user account ID.
405	method_not_allowed	This path doesn't accept the HTTP method, or the create isn't enabled in this environment. The Allow header lists the methods that are.	Use a method listed in Allow.
429	rate_limit_exceeded	Too many requests in the current minute, or too many concurrent requests, for the organization or connection.	Wait for Retry-After seconds, then retry.
429	daily_quota_exceeded	The organization or connection has used its daily allowance for this kind of request. Allowances reset at 00:00 UTC.	Wait for Retry-After seconds, or check remaining allowance in Settings → API connections.
503	temporarily_unavailable	The service couldn't complete the request.	Retry with exponential backoff. Retry creates with the same key and body.
