Get Custom Attributes

Returns a list of all custom attribute fields (also known as custom user fields) that have been defined for your account.

For details about defining custom user fields, see Custom User Fields.

Resource URL

https://<subdomain>/api/1/users/
custom_attributes

Header Parameter

Authorization

required

string

Set to bearer:<access_token>.

Set <access_token> to the access token you generated using the Generate Token API.

The access token must have been generated using an API credential pair created using the scope required to call this API. This API can be called using any one of the following scopes: Read Users, Manage users, Read All, or Manage All.

Sample Response

  • 200 OK
  • 400 Bad Request
  • 401 Unauthorized
{
    "status": {
        "error": false,
        "code": 200,
        "type": "success",
        "message": "Success"
    },
    "data": [
        [
            "alias",
            "branch"
        ]
    ]
}

This is what a 200 OK response looks like with no custom attribute results:

{
    "data": [
        []
    ],
    "status": {
        "code": 200,
        "error": false,
        "message": "Success",
        "type": "success"
    }
}

Typically, this error means that your Authorization header value is missing or incorrectly formatted. The Authorization header value should use this format: bearer:<access_token>.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 400,
        "type": "bad request",
        "message": "Authorization Information is incorrect"
    }
}

Typically, this error means that your access token value is invalid.

{
    "status": {
        "error": true,
        "code": 401,
        "type": "Unauthorized",
        "message": "Authentication Failure"
    }
}
