Parameter (accountId) does not match required pattern

Sylvie R.

I am retrieving a list of users via the v1/orgs/{org_id}/users/search API.

From that list I extract the accountId and with that call the API

"https://api.atlassian.com/users/"+accountId+")}/manage/profile".

And I get the following answer:

{ "context": { "message": "Request validation failed: Parameter (accountId) does not match required pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_|:-]{1,128}$", "paramName": "accountId", "path": "paths->/users/{accountId}/manage/profile->get->parameters->0" }, "errorDetail": { "message": "Request validation failed: Parameter (accountId) does not match required pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_|:-]{1,128}$", "paramName": "accountId", "path": "paths->/users/{accountId}/manage/profile->get->parameters->0" }, "errorKey": "bad-request-format", "key": "badRequestFormat" }

How can the accountId retrieved via API not be correct?

Hi, @Sylvie R_ 

Welcome to Atlassian Community

Looking at your url, I think, it's the reason. You included ")} in it.
This is, for example, my script in python, which I use to work with users data

def get_profile(account_id):
    url = f"https://api.atlassian.com/users/{account_id}/manage/profile"
    response = requests.get(url, headers=admin_headers)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()
    else:
        pass

 

Also pay attention, that you need to check, that user "accountType" == "atlassian".
