sprLib.user(options).profile() using "post" ?

[YakQin]

Hello,

I run below query but I saw it is a "POST" action and I got error:

"error":{"code":"-2130575251, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The security validation for this page is invalid and might be corrupted. Please use your web browser's Back button to try your operation again."}}}

I tried to add the digest token but it did not work.

I used this API before but I used the "GET" Method and it worked for me.

//////////////////////////////
sprLib.user({
baseUrl: 'https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/teams/StrategyandPOA',
email: 'gui-zhong.qin@xxx.com',
}).profile().then(function (objUser) {
console.log(objUser)
});

Hi @YakQin ,

So, the profile() method attempts to get info from the UserProfile service, and that requires a POST type:

return sprLib.rest({
    url: "_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='"+userAcctName+"'",
    type: 'POST',
    metadata: false
});

However, I had not considered the session timeout aspect of doing a POST...

Let me add the ability to pass a digestToken.

thanks a lot, but why you preferred "post" while "get" is working

Good catch - I have no idea why a POST was being used for that particular call...??

The userProfile call is now a GET like all the others, so auth shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Thanks!
