Hi Milen,

I don't think Galaxy exposes what you ask for through an API and a PR to make it do so is  certainly welcomed. Please note that this information (about other users) should be only exposed to an admin.

Additionally is there a reason why you are gathering these stats through an API and not from the database via a script? Example of such server-based script (for job stats gathering) is in Galaxy's codebase: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/scripts/grt.py Let me know if you want to know more about this.

Thanks

Martin

Dear Team,

Hi, my name is Milen Kouylekov and I am working on the galaxy portal
customized for natural language technology applications.
http://lap.clarino.uio.no.

I wrote an reporting script that uses Galaxy API to summarize the user
activity. The idea of the script is to send regular reports with the
information available to the reporting server as well as additional
information like queries that failed to execute etc. I have managed to
retrieve using the API most of the relevant information except the
following:

1) User creation date.
2) User last access date.

I have investigated that user object and see that information is part of
it. My question is:

Is there a way to access this information through the API? If not can I
make a feature request? It is an information useful for administration
of a galaxy instance.

Cheers Milen
