How to get the userprofile properties based on Author (created by )

Question

I need to show the User profile Picture, Department, and location for every individual user who is Creating or adding the document to the library. I think we need to get the properties based on Authors name? I tried, but I got only current user Properties. please suggest me some idea to achieve this.

Try as below using REST API:

var accountName = 'domain\user';
$.ajax({
        url: "https://sitecollectionurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='" + encodeURIComponent(accountName) + "'",
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data);                 
        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
        }
});

If you are using JSOM, try below code:

var personProperties;

SP.SOD.executeFunc('SP.js', 'SP.ClientContext', function() {
   // Make sure PeopleManager is available 
   SP.SOD.executeFunc('userprofile', 'SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager', function() {   
        getUserProperties();
   });

});

function getUserProperties() {

    // Replace the placeholder value with the target user's credentials.
    var targetUser = "domainName\\userName";

    // Get the current client context and PeopleManager instance.
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);

    // Get user properties for the target user.
    // To get the PersonProperties object for the current user, use the
    // getMyProperties method.
    personProperties = peopleManager.getPropertiesFor(targetUser);

    // Load the PersonProperties object and send the request.
    clientContext.load(personProperties);
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(onRequestSuccess, onRequestFail);
}

// This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call succeeds.
function onRequestSuccess() {
        console.log(personProperties.get_userProfileProperties()['Department']);    
}

// This function runs if the executeQueryAsync call fails.
function onRequestFail(sender, args) {
    console.log(args.get_message());
}
