Look up a unified individual profile using the Salesforce Data Cloud Profile API

Verified steps

  1. Obtain a Data Cloud-scoped OAuth access token from the Salesforce org's token endpoint using a Connected App with the appropriate Data Cloud permissions.
  2. Issue a GET request to the Profile API endpoint: GET https://<tenant-url>/api/v1/profiles/individuals/<unifiedIndividualId> using the unified individual's ID (ssot__Id__c) as the path parameter.
  3. Parse the response JSON, which includes the unified individual's resolved attributes (name, email, phone) and the list of source profile IDs that were merged into this unified record.
  4. To look up by an external identifier rather than the internal unified ID, POST to the lookup endpoint: POST https://<tenant-url>/api/v1/profiles/individuals/lookup with a JSON body containing the identifier type and value.
  5. Retrieve related engagement events or linked DMO records by querying the Data Cloud Query API with the unified individual's ssot__Id__c as a filter parameter.
  6. Handle 404 responses gracefully — they indicate the unified ID does not exist or has been superseded by a re-resolution run that merged it with another profile.
