Hi bstojadinovic , is the question here that the REST CALL you provided isn't working for you? If so it may be that you are  missing part of the call /restapi/vc/users/id/some_user_id_here/settings/name/custom_profile.course_1

Could you please be clear with having the information in a DW?

    Hi SyedSa 

     

    Thanks for the response. I'd like to know how to call these custom profile attributes to our data warehouse so we can see that data using the BI tool/Looker. We managed to handle custom tags, but how to do the same with profile attributes?

      bstojadinovic, this should grab you the custom profile attribute:

      curl --location --request POST '{hostname}/restapi/vc/users/id/{user id}/settings/name/{profile attribute}' \

      --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \

      --header 'li-api-session-key: {session key}'
       

      This call will return this response:
      <response status="success">    

      <value type="string">{payload}</value>

      </response>
       

      You can obtain a li-api-session-key value from:
      curl --location --request POST '{hostname}/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login' \

      --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
