Manage users
If you registered your application, got authenticated and created a Test user successfully, the next step is to learn how to work with users (sellers and buyers).Register as a real estate agency (Optional)
If you are a real estate agency, you can register your user as such to gain access to our promotional real estate packs. To accomplish this, access the Help section. This step can’t be accessed through API, you need to follow the path: Ayuda > Configuración de mi cuenta > Registrarme como empresa, concesionaria e inmobiliaria.
Once you choose "Registrarme como Inmobiliaria" you'll be redirected to a form which must be filled with the proper information and you will also be able to choose your desired promotional package. After completing the form, one of our agents will get in touch with you.
Keep in mind that having a promotional pack is not mandatory for listing through the API but it’s really helpful for real estate agencies. Learn how to work with Promotion Packs.

}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 MercadoLibre 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 do not have the ID but you know the user’s nickname and the site he/she belongs to, you will be able to get their ID using the following search: Call:curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/{Site_id}/search?nickname={Nickname}curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/sites/MLA/search?nickname=TETE2870021{
