}Get data from other users
If you want to query third-party user data, you will be able to identify two information levels: public data, which you can find navigating the Mercado Libre profile of any other user, e.g.: http://perfil.mercadolibre.com.ar/TETE2870021, and private data, which will be hidden unless you have user permission and a valid token to work on his/her behalf . In both cases, first you need to know the user ID.
How to get a user’s ID?
If you don't have the id, but you know the nickname and the site a user belongs to, you can get his id with the following search.
Request:
curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/$SITE_ID/search?nickname=$NICKNAMEExample:

Seller User with Mercado Pago required
You can use our resources to update your user information after registration. This is a common issue, since at this instance you’re not asked to fill your address or personal identification, but you need to have them filled or you’ll be unable to list items on MercadoLibre. To update your user information, follow the example.
Example:
curl -X PUT -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d
{
"identification_type": "DNI",
"identification_number": "33333333",
"address": "Triunvirato 5555",
"state":"AR-C",
"city":"Capital Federal",
"zip_dode": "1431",
"phone":{
"area_code":"011",
"number":"4444-4444",
"extension":"001"
},
"first_name":"Pedro",
"last_name": "Picapiedras",
"company":{
"corporate_name":"Acme",
"brand_name":"Acme Company"
},
"mercadoenvios": "accepted"
}
https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/$USER_IDCongratulations, you've updated your user Information. Remember to only send the fields you want to update.
Common error codes
206 – Partial content: in some cases Users API resource will return a 206 – Partial Content code. This is going to happen when the request to some of the data fails (for example, user reputation), to make you aware that you’re getting an incomplete response.
