Hi

We would like to retrieve the nicknames of the users in order to send messages via the API with the correct user linked. Currently we are having a lot of problem with this as some users have a ‘second’ account and are called for example ‘Jos-Geirnaert-2’.

Could you help us with tis?

Kind regards  
Jelle
