404 error while calling two rest api services

Question

I wanted to request two api services- one to get the list of users of the site using this api: _api/web/lists/getbytitle('User Information List') and based on the response wanted to call another api: /_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='accountname' to list the birthdays of all the users using a for loop.

I got the response for the first api in the console but second api returns 404 not found. What is the problem?

Answer 1

In case you are using SharePoint online, the 2nd REST call would be like:

https://site-collection-url/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='i:0%23.f|membership|[email protected]'

But if you are using SharePoint 2013 on-premise, the REST call would be like:

https://site-collection-url/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='domain\username'
