Need to Know
The User Profile web service utilizes Extensible Markup Language (XML) messages and adheres to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) standard, which facilitates the exchange of structured information.
Partners and application providers can develop web service clients to interact with the User Profile web service using the Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file and schema provided in this document. WSDL is an XML format that describes network services by defining endpoints, expected parameters, and data structures in a machine-readable format.
With the User Profile web service, web service clients can retrieve and update user profile information. Clients must specify the desired profile details in each request to minimize latency and avoid the performance overhead of multiple API calls. User identification is managed through an ID (externalID) provided during single sign-on (SSO) via Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) identity assertion.
