Retrieve profiles by address

This method returns one or more profiles that have an exact match on the mailing address field values specified in the request. Passing minimal data in the parameters may result in multiple profiles being returned.

This method can only return up to 50 profiles. If more than 50 matching profiles are found, the API returns a 403-Forbidden. The response will include all active consents, custom fields, groups, tags, and preferences for which you have appropriate permissions.

To increase the likelihood of finding the desired profile, it is recommended to include all available address fields as query parameters. All fields passed in the request must match the corresponding values in the profile for the record to be returned. For example, if you are looking for a profile with the name Audrey Julia Michaels at an unknown address on a street named Jefferson Drive in Roswell, GA, use the request as shown below

Plain text
GET {clientId}/Profile/Address?address1=Jefferson Drive&city=Roswell&stateProvince=GA&addressType=Home&firstName=Audrey&middleName=Julia&lastName=Michaels&partialAddress1Match=true&partialNameMatch=true
