Get public user data

GET 
/v2/users/:userId

Returns public information about a specific user account, similar to what can be seen on public profile pages (e.g. https://apify.com/apify).

This operation requires no authentication token.

When the request is authenticated with an API token of the requested user account, or with a token that impersonates it, the response also contains the private information, the same as in Get private user data. Tokens with limited permissions never receive it.
