Get user profile proerties on ShaprePoint online (office 365)

Question

I need code to get user profile properties by using JavaScript or JQuery

 var url = appweburl +"/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties";
 var requestHeaders = {
           "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose"
      };

 var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
     executor.executeAsync(
           {
                url: url,
                contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
                method: "GET",
                headers: requestHeaders,
                success: function (data) {

                     var parsedData = JSON.parse(data.body);
                   alert(parsedData )

                },
                error: function (data) {
                     alert("failed");
                     console.log(data)
                }
           }
      );

the above code always throw error "Access denied,You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource". I am working on SharePoint office 365,any method using JavaScript or jquery is acceptable.

Answer 1

It seems that you are working on SharePoint Hosted App.

So, your app must be permitted to access the user profile.

So follow this steps:

• Go to AppManifest.xml
• Add following code in AppManifest.xml

<AppPermissionRequests>
    <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="FullControl"/>
  </AppPermissionRequests>

This solved my problem in past.

Answer 2

Its not clear your what is your request Origin URL and Destination URL. If you are requesting from http://a/ and destination is http://b/ then CORS check may be fiered and throwing "Access Denied". Else following code must work;

$.ajax({
  url: "http://<site url>/_api/sp.userprofiles.peoplemanager
    /getmyproperties",
  type: "GET",
  headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
  success: successHandler,
  error: errorHandler
});
