1) According to the documentation http://www.geni.com/platform/developer/help/api?path=profile&ve... master_profile is one of the default attributes you get, but you don't on this profile:
         api/profile-63954554
2) When you make a request for all fields you don't get it either, - that is especially unexpected, but in general it looks like field_group=all are missing a lot of new fields.
         api/profile-63954554?field_group=all
3) You only get it when making a specific request for the attribute:
         api/profile-63954554?fields=name,id,master_profile

We also have the problem that when you really need to know attributes like "claimed" you don't get them:
api/profile-25417360

The profile example where MP does not show up in the API is: Leanore Landry

I had to remove the base URL from the API examples because Geni automatically map /api/profile URL's to the web based profiles, which in my opinion is being too "smart".
