How to retrieve user's "Based In" information from profile

Filipe Sousa_2v9qaw

I can retreive the user email, display name, active, timezone, locale, avatar without any problem, but I can't access the "Based In" information, from the user profile, even when its set visible to anyone.

I have tried :

/rest/api/3/user?accountId=${accountid}

/rest/api/3/user/search?accountId=${accountid}

I am using an admin account to make the api requests.

Hi @Filipe Sousa

Using the API request you do, will not get you far since this specific API is domain related (I mean is only for you site). I would explore to see if this https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/admin/user-management/rest/api-group-users/#api-users-account-id-manage-profile-get suit your needs, and most likely this is the one you need.

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.atlassian.com/users/{account_id}/manage/profile' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'

The only catch is that you "You have permission to manage the user. The profile data is returned."

@Filipe Sousa -

Welcome to the community. Although in the Profile UI is named "Based in", it is actually named as "location" attribute in the JSON body based on my knowledge.

Hope this helps

Got that information with browser developer tools.

But in postman when calling these endpoints we don't get the info from the extended_profile

https://{domain}.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user/search?query={user}

https://{domain}.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/user?accountId={accountId}

When getting user info event when location is set visible to anyone, we don't have access to that field in the api response
