Get a user by userResourceGuid (GET)
This API allows you to search for a specific user in the Alumni platform by using their unique identifier and returning all their information.
Call
In this call, you will use a user’s userResourceGuid (user unique identifier) to get all the API-exposed information the system has on them.
A user’s userResourceGuid can be obtained in multiple ways:
- Data reports
- Using APIs
- Search users
- Create a new user
- Through UI
- User’s profile URL: If you go to a user’s profile page (either alumni admin or alumni portal), you will be able to see the userResourceGuid in the browser’s URL. It will be a long alphanumeric value separated by hyphens.

Notes
- It is possible to choose to return all the fields or just a specific field by passing the field key on the query parameter “fields”.
Response
This API will return a specific user’s schema, in JSON, with all their information.

"userResourceGuid": "a18895c4-862f-4a91-a9c1-44a9ecf51a28",
