REST API calls that edit Profile information?

Welcome back, MusterBuster.  Long time no see! :)

Thanks for explaining the business story.  It really helps put into perspective what we can help you accomplish.  It also happens to be a clever little idea, so Kudos to you for that.  Heheh.

Unfortunately, there is not REST API call to write into a user's biography.  However, you can use the SSO token to populate this info.  When the user logs in, the token will update with the info you pass over.  The field in the token that we will respond to (and update) is called:

profile.biography (there is likely a 10,000 character limit - but I dont know that for certain)

The next trick that you're going to want to pull is using some kind of search criteria that will yield only your "infected" users when doing a user search.

Fortunately, we know that if you use a word in User Search that only appears in a biography, it will yield results.

For example, in my biography, I have the word "junkie" (and no, its not what you think, heheh!).  So if you do a user search on the Lithosphere, and your search term is "junkie" it will bring up the JakeR profile.  So we know that a User Search will query the biographies of users.

So there is a way to update a user's biography, but it is done via their SSO token rather than the API.  And once the biography has been updated with the right "infected" information, it is possible to create a list of those users that are "infected" via a User Search.
