account

Hi, can i use account.get if i want to check if a user exists ? in a function

No, account.get() gets the currently logged in user.

You would want to use users.get(USER_ID)

thank you so much, ill try it :)

and can i somehow search by email?

sure, try

const res = users.list([
  Query.equal('email', 'USER_EMAIL')
]);

const user = res.users[0]
