Profile data API FAQ

Q: Can we update all field types using the API?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I have an example on how to update data for the type Cascade select?
A: Sure. Let's say your CSV file looks like the one we used as example in our documentation.

Cat-Number, Category,	Group-Number,	Group,		Product-Id,	Product
1,			foodstuffs,	1,				vegetables,	aa,			tomato
1,			foodstuffs,	1,				vegetables,	ab,			potato
1,			foodstuffs,	2,				fruits,		ac,			cherry
1,			foodstuffs,	2,				fruits,		ad,			apple
1,			foodstuffs,	2,				fruits,		ae,			banana
2,			tools,		3,				hand,		ba,			hammer
2,			tools,		3,				hand,		bb,			nipper
2,			tools,		4,				electric,	bc,			drilling machine

If you want to set "foodstuff - vegetables - tomato" and "tools - hand - nipper" to a users profile your JSON request should look like this (the field key must of course match the one you want to change in your system):

{
   "cup.cascading-1":["1/1/aa","2/3/bb"]
}

Warning: The API will actually not return an error if the data does not exist in your CSV file. It will be saved successfully but in the profiles UI will be no visible data.

Q: Can the user still overwrite the field after it has been updated by the API or is the field locked?
A: Updating profile fields via the profile API is only possible for fields that are writable, i.e. ones that are not obtaining their values through XML or LDAP import. Thus, it's always possible for users to edit the field values after the API has been used to set a field value. Programmatic locking/unlocking of fields for manual edits is not possible yet

Q:  Is it possible to setup permissions in a way where only an API user can edit fields but users themselves don't have edit access, or maybe just restrict certain fields?
A: No, this is not possible yet. You can grant profile edit permissions to more users but can't exclude the owning user.

Q: Does the API wipe away other fields you don't specify in the API payload?
A: The API only updates the fields that are included with the update request, and keeps the rest intact. Deletion / wiping of existing field data is still possible by providing an empty string as update value, so if that's not desired, you'll need to make sure the JSON passed to our API only contains keys for those fields you'd like to update (and the corresponding values shouldn't be empty in that case, of course).
