How to use queryString in the nodejs client for fusionauth?

Question

I am using the following code to get all users. It works with the Java client but is giving the following error

{ code: '[invalid]', api_1 | message: 'You must specify either the [ids], [queryString], [email] or [username] property for a GET request.' }

What I am trying

    let requestJSON = {}
    requestJSON.queryString = "*";
    client.searchUsersByQueryString(requestJSON).then(handleResponse).catch(handleResponse);

    function handleResponse (clientResponse) {
        console.log(clientResponse.errorResponse.generalErrors[0]);
    }

Also for some reason, it is assuming this to be a GET Request.

I have already tried doing the same using Postman and it doesn't work. I am using FusionAuth 1.5.0 everywhere.

The client library uses a POST request with a JSON body to perform the search. See the POST /api/user/search API documentation here https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users#search-for-users

Try this instead:

let requestJSON = {
  search: {
    queryString: "*"
  }
};


client.searchUsersByQueryString(requestJSON).then(handleResponse).catch(handleResponse);

function handleResponse (clientResponse) {
  console.log(clientResponse.errorResponse.generalErrors[0]);
}
