Overview

This node operation allows users to search for a user by their phone number within the "Bạn Bè" (Friends) resource. It is useful for scenarios where you want to find specific users on the Zalo platform by providing their phone number and limiting the number of search results. For example, a business could use this to verify if a phone number is associated with a Zalo user or to retrieve user details for contact management.

Use Case Examples

1. Searching for a user by phone number to verify their Zalo account.
2. Limiting the number of search results to 50 to optimize performance and data handling.
