Sharepoint Online: Retrieving PersonalURL for a user through the REST API?

Question

I am looking for a way to the retrieve the following information for a user

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.client.userprofiles.personproperties.aspx

Especially

https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/microsoft.office.server.userprofiles.personproperties.personalurl.aspx

through the REST API for Sharepoint Online (Office 365 subscription).

Can I get this info through the APIs? I am polling users through Graph API and I need this information against the users I get (but since Azure doesn't provide this, I am stuck)

I am aware of the User Profile API

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn790354.aspx#bk_PeopleManagerGetPropertiesFor

The mentioned in the docs is an unknown in my case. I can't use the discovery service as well.

My understanding is that I could just use

https://<tenantName>-my.sharepoint.com 

as a host (site URL) to use the User Profile API endpoints. Is this correct?

PS: We are using Client Credentials Flow to obtain the access token (i.e, no user context associated with the token) Moreover, I have gone through CSOM and Powershell options, so I am aware of those. I am interested in the API endpoints.

You can use this REST endpoint:

https://<server>/_api/sp.userprofiles.peoplemanager/getPropertiesFor(@v)?@v='domain\LoginName'

This retrieves all profile information for the given LoginName. You can select the property PersonalUrl by adding $select = PersonalUrl

For more information see the User profiles REST API reference at MSDN.
