Attributes for the current user

Attributes for the logged in user are available through this API, which is also called “extended userinfo”. It is only available for users logged in with a Feide account.

API endpoint

https://api.dataporten.no/userinfo/v1/userinfo

Example

The testuser asbjorn_elevg@testusers.feide.no is logged in and has the scopes userid-feide and userinfo-name in the access token. The endpoint is called like so:

curl -sSLf -H 'Authorization: Bearer ....' \
'https://api.dataporten.no/userinfo/v1/userinfo'

This gives the following output:
