# Search Discord guild members

`GET /v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/members/search`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://zernio.com/api`
- URL: `https://zernio.com/api/v1/discord/guilds/{guildId}/members/search`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Search guild members whose username or nickname **starts with** the
query (Discord matches prefixes only, not substrings).

Cheaper than paginating the full member listing when you already know
who you are looking for.

## Path parameters

- `guildId` string, required

## Query parameters

- `accountId` string, required
- `query` string, required
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`
