I'm getting the user email from an external HR system.

I want to retrieve the user properties from SharePoint User Profile by email using the rest API (I'm using a SharePoint-hosted app) but it seems like it's not supported. The only that I found is getting the user by his account name like the following http://<domain>/en/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v=%27domain\user%27

When I change the accountName by email, it simply doesn't work : http://<domain>/en/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(Email=@v)?@v=%27Email%27

Anyone has faced the same requirement ? Anyone has another idea ?

  • external HR system means? are they in different system/domain? You can execute rest query inside your sharepoint environment only

You won't be able to use the method that you are trying. The SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager.getPropertiesFor Method only takes one argument and that is the accountName. See more info Here.

One endpoint that you can use however is :

/_api/Web/SiteUsers?$filter=Email eq '#email#'

where #email# will be [email protected]

Hope it helps someone.
