This API is used to obtain your personal profile. For more information on the properties, see Profile.

Note：

Custom profile fields are supported since SDK v2.3.2. Before using this API, upgrade your SDK to v2.3.2 or later.

API name

tim.getMyProfile()

Returned values

This API returns a Promise object. The callback functions are as follows:

• The callback function parameter for then is IMResponse. You can obtain your personal profile from IMResponse.data.
• The callback function parameter for catch is IMError.

Sample

let promise = tim.getMyProfile();
promise.then(function(imResponse) {
  console.log(imResponse.data); // Personal profile from the profile instance
}).catch(function(imError) {
  console.warn('getMyProfile error:', imError); // Information on the failure in obtaining the personal profile.
});

Obtaining other users’ profiles

This API is used to obtain standard profile fields and Custom Profile Fields.

Note：

• Custom profile fields are supported since SDK v2.3.2. Before using this API, upgrade your SDK to v2.3.2 or later.
• If you have not configured any custom profile fields or you have configured custom profile fields but have not set the values, this API will not return custom profile information.
• You may pull profiles of up to 100 users to avoid failure caused by a large amount of data returned. If the length of an array passed in is greater than 100, only the first 100 users will be queried and the rest are discarded.

  userIDList: ['user1', 'user2'] // Note: even if you retrieve only one user’s profile, the value must be of the array type, for example, userIDList: ['user1'].
});
promise.then(function(imResponse) {
  console.log(imResponse.data); // The array that stores other users’ profiles - [Profile]
}).catch(function(imError) {

• If both user A and user B have blacklisted each other, user A and user B cannot set up a chat session.
• If user A has blacklisted user A but user B has not blacklisted user A, user A can send a message to user B, but user B cannot send a message to user A.

  console.log(imResponse.data); // Information on the userIDs that are added to the blacklist. The value must be an array that contains userIDs - [userID].
}).catch(function(imError) {
  console.warn('addToBlacklist error:', imError); // Information on the failure in adding userIDs to the blacklist.
