bsfwn (bsfwn) asked a question.
I was given a spreadsheet with about 2,000 email addresses and was asked to verify their status in Okta. (Active, Deactivated, etc.)
What’s the best approach other than doing it manually one-by-by?
Can an AP I call handle something like this? I don’t know how to write API so any tips help.
Thank you.
Jay Chow
Hi Jay. When you say verify, I'm guessing you mean report on the status ? If so you can do this with the APIs, but by far the biggest boon to Okta reporting is to use Rockstar.

You can pull a report on filtered users, including the status, in seconds. Just remember to remove those CSVs from your device after you've used them.
If by verify you mean get the users to verify their accounts via an Activation email, then you can use the APIs for this ( Postman makes this very easy ) or using one of your free Workflows
Let me know if you want more details on how to do that.
Neil,
I think you are the Rockstar in my book. The Extension is exactly what I was looking for. We have over 146K users so it’s gonna take a while to export all.
You are right. I will delete the reports asap.
Thanks for your expertise and help.
