Retrieving profiles is performed with a GET request.

You can then refine your search by using filters, ordering and pagination. For more on this, refer to the Additional operations section.

Additionally, Campaign Standard APIs allow you to search for profiles based on one of these fields: email, first name, last name or any custom field. For more on this, refer to this section.


Sample requests

  • Sample GET request to retrieve all profiles.

    
    -X GET https://mc.adobe.io/<ORGANIZATION>/campaign/profileAndServices/profile \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
    -H 'X-Api-Key: <API_KEY>'
    
    

    Response to the request.

    
    {
        "content": [
            {
                "PKey": "<PKEY>",
                "firstName": "John",
                "lastName":"Doe",
                "birthDate": "1980-10-24",
                ...
            },
            ...
    }
    
    
  • Sample GET request to retrieve the first 10 email values.

    
    -X GET https://mc.adobe.io/<ORGANIZATION>/campaign/profileAndServices/profile/email?_lineCount=10 \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
    -H 'X-Api-Key: <API_KEY>'
    
    

    Response to the request. The “next” node returns the URL that gives you access to the 10 next email values.

    
    {
    "content": [
        "amy.dakota@mail.com",
        "kristen.smith@mail.com",
        "omalley@mail.com",
        "xander.harrys@mail.com",
        "jane.summer@mail.com",
        "gloria.boston@mail.com",
        "edward.snow@mail.com",
        "dorian.simons@mail.com",
        "peter.paolini@mail.com",
        "mingam+test08@adobe.com"
    ],
    "next": {
        "href": "https://mc.adobe.io/<ORGANIZATION>/campaign/profileAndServices/profile/email?_lineCount=10&_
        lineStart=@Qy2MRJCS67PFf8soTf4BzF7BXsq1Gbkp_e5lLj1TbE7HJKqc"
    }
    }
    
    

Searching for profiles based on a field

The filterType parameter allows you to retrieve profiles based on one of these fields: email, first name, last name or any custom field that has been added in Advanced filtering when extending the profile resource.

NOTE

Searches are case-sensitive and performed on prefixes only. For example, you will not be able to look up for a profile using their last name’s last letters.
