gm72 As Здравко outlined, you can compare the list of members against the login events to see which members haven't logged in. The API doesn't offer a more direct way of listing members that have never logged in than that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Thanks. That makes sense. The only issue is that the login events page is very extensive and requires many follow up requests with the cursor included. I'm having to manually combine the received JSON data so that I can compare file to file. I'll keep looking into it to see if I can find a better way, perhaps by using a date range to limit data. I'm assuming the get_events logs each and every request.
