In my Sp2013, I tried this link

http://mysite/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties

and it gets all properties including the custom managed ones from crawling. And one of them is called Office which comes in the xml from above link.

This is in the big xml thats returned

            <d:element m:type="SP.KeyValue">
                <d:Key>Office</d:Key>
                <d:Value>12-R</d:Value>
                <d:ValueType>Edm.String</d:ValueType>
            </d:element>

But then if I try this

http://mysite/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/Office

it says Office is not found...

How can I get it to return that?

Thanks

  • I tried it, and the pictureUrl, and also even email works. Its just the custom managed ones that don't work.

  • Not sure if it's helpful but we use CSWP to achieve this since we can do dynamic query in CSWP. All we put is "Office:{User.Office}" then the search will automatically filter on current user's office, or you can default to current user's office and sort by that property.

If you want to get only the specific property value then use "getuserprofilepropertyfor" & pass the current user login name

$.ajax({
      url: "http://<site url>/_api/sp.userprofiles.peoplemanager
        /getuserprofilepropertyfor(accountName=@v, propertyname='Office')
            ?@v='i%3A0%23.f%7Cmembership%7Csekhar%mydomain.onmicrosoft.com'",
      type: "GET",
      headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
      success: successHandler,
      error: errorHandler
    });

  • use _spPageContextInfo.userLoginName to pass the current user login name if you are not an AD user. apply escapeProperly function before adding it to rest call escapeProperly(_spPageContextInfo.userLoginName)

Try below approach. It worked fine for me.

var siteUrl = "http://mysite";
$.ajax({
        url: siteUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties",
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
             for (var i = 0; i < data.d.UserProfileProperties.results.length; i++)
            {
                if(data.d.UserProfileProperties.results[i].Key == "Office")
                {
                    alert(data.d.UserProfileProperties.results[i].Value);
                }
            }

        },
        error: error
    });
