## Description

Returns the members on the server.

The members are sorted alphabetically by surname, first name, then email.

By default, this service returns the first 1000 members and up to 10000 at a time using the pagesize parameter. Use the page parameter to return additional members.

Alternatively, you can use the [/members/find](find-members-GET.md) service to return members matching a name, email or email domain.

## Parameters

| Name | Description | Required | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| page | The page to load | no | integer | `1` |
| pagesize | The number of results per page | no | integer | `1000` |
| extendedmember | If extended information for member should be returned | no | boolean | `false` |

The maximum value for pagesize is 10000.
