**[Problem/Question]**  
The only way to get the channel member object for a user in a channel right now is via the `/group_channels/{channel_url}/members` endpoint, this has be filtered with a nickname, if you can’t rely on nickname, we have to recursively load all pages until we find the user

**[Solution]**  
Either an endpoint to get a member by user id:  
`/group_channels/{channel_url}/members/{unique_user_id}` or a parameter on the regular endpoint to only get a single user

Hi @SamKK

Welcome to Sendbird Community!

You can fetch the channel member object for a user in a channel via the API below with `show_member` parameter.
