How to search for a Profile using a custom field

Posted by Anonymous (not verified) on August 17, 2021 in Standard Integration Questions

I am attempting to do a GET call using a custom field on a job to see if the job exists or not. When I do the GET call using this endpoint - https://api.icims.com/customers/[removed]/jobs/lookup?type=field[removed]&value=[removed], I get this error - "The given type is not supported for profile lookup.". Is it possible to look up a profile using a custom field? If so, what am I doing wrong? If not, what are the supported ways to look up a profile?

Lookup is not supported. You can do a GET using the Job ID. If you do not have the job ID you can use the SEARCH API with specific filters. You can find out more information in the SEARCH API section - https://developer.icims.com/REST-API/Object-Types-Commands/Search-API
