I have a custom user profile property named "My-Property".

I want to retrieve this property from a rest call.

How can I handle the dash in the property name ?

I tried :

  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=My-Property
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/My-Property
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=My%20Property
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/My%20Property
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=MyProperty
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/MyProperty
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=MyProperty
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=UserProfileProperties/My-Property&$expand=UserProfileProperties/My-Property
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=UserProfileProperties/My%2DProperty&$expand=UserProfileProperties/My%2DProperty
  • http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties/?$select=UserProfileProperties/MyProperty&$expand=UserProfileProperties/MyProperty

With no luck.

What is the correct way to get this property ?

For this you will need to use "GetUserProfilePropertyFor" function.Please try below URL.

http://server/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='SPS-Birthday')?@v='Enter Current User Account Detail'

You cannot filter/select on custom user property. It is a known issue. So its doesnt matter whether there is dash in the property or not.

User voice link - Enable selecting custom User Profile Properties from REST API

So you can use them as below:

For On Prem -

https://sitecollectionurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='My-Property')?@v='domain\username'

For Online -

https://sitecollectionurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='My-Property')?@v='i:0%23.f|membership|[email protected]'

Full code:

$.ajax({
      url: "https://sitecollectionurl/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName=@v,propertyName='SPS-JobTitle')?@v=%27i:0%23.f|membership|[email protected]%27",
      type: "GET",
      headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },
      success: function(data){
        console.log(data);
      },
      error: function(data){        
      }
});

For future readers, according Sam's answer, here is my full code to retrieve the profile property for the logged user :

// 1st request to get the user login
jQuery.ajax({
    url: _spPageContextInfo.siteServerRelativeUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/getmyproperties/accountname",
    headers :{Accept :"application/json;odata=verbose"},
    dataFilter: function (data, type) {
        var result = JSON.parse(data).d.AccountName;
        return JSON.stringify(result);
    }                
}).done(function(accountname) { 

    // 2nd request to get the property value
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: _spPageContextInfo.siteServerRelativeUrl + "/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/getuserprofilepropertyfor(accountname=@v,propertyName='My-Property')?@v='"+accountname+"'",
        headers :{Accept :"application/json;odata=verbose"},
        dataFilter: function (data, type) {
            var result = JSON.parse(data).d.GetUserProfilePropertyFor;
            return JSON.stringify(result);
        }
    }).done(function(myProperty){
        // final code when got the property
        console.log(myProperty);
    });

});
