Updates a user's profile. A user can only update their own profile and should only be called within the context of a logged in user.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

UserProfile:
  address:
    address: string
    address-line: [string]
    administrative-area: string
    dependent-locality: string
    language-code: string
    lat-lng:
      latitude: number
      longitude: number
    locality: string
    postal-code: string
    region-code: string
    sorting-code: string
  adwords-manager-account: string
  channels: [string]
  email-address: string
  email-opt-ins:
    market-comm: boolean
    performance-suggestions: boolean
    phone-contact: boolean
    physical-mail: boolean
    special-offers: boolean
  family-name: string
  given-name: string
  industries: [string]
  job-functions: [string]
  languages: [string]
  markets: [string]
  migrate-to-afa: boolean
  phone-number: string
  primary-country-code: int64
  profile-public: boolean

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
