Dev question....
Is there any url that I can form using the ProfileID that will redirect to the proper profile URL? Or is there an easy secret to covert the ProfileID number to the GUID? With the API rate limits, I rather not make an extra call to the profile API just to get the profile URL if I don't have to.
Hey there Jeff,
We have a concept of node ID's and profile ID's. We're slowly working away from the traditional profile ID that you see tacked to the end of the URL on your profile page.
For instance:
The 6000000015230962952 is my profile ID. You could replace the "Brian-G" in the above URL and you'll be redirected to the correct URL.
http://www.geni.com/people/<put anything here>/6000000015230962952
Furthermore, if you only know the node ID, you can get to the profile page like so:
geni.com/profile-34623734867
Where 34623734867 is my node ID.
Hope this is clear!
Brian
