getUserAttributes
The getUserAttributes() API gets the user profile attributes with the given keys.
Android
iOS (AEP 3.x)
iOS (ACP 2.x)
Cordova
Flutter
Xamarin
Syntax
public static void getUserAttributes(List<String> keys, AdobeCallback<Map<String, Object>> callback)
callback is invoked after the customer attributes are available.
Example
A retail application wants to get the itemsAddedToCart user data when processing checkout.
When AdobeCallbackWithError is provided, if the operation times out (5s) or an unexpected error occurs, the fail method is called with the appropriate AdobeError.
UserProfile.getUserAttributes(Arrays.asList("itemsAddedToCart"), new AdobeCallbackWithError<Map<String, Object>>() {
            @Override
            public void fail(AdobeError adobeError) {
                // your customized code
            }
            @Override
            public void call(Map<String, Object> stringObjectMap) {
                     // your customized code
            }
        });
Swift
Syntax
static func getUserAttributes(attributeNames: [String], completion: @escaping ([String: Any]?, AEPError) -> Void)
completion is the callback function which will be called with user attributes.
Example
A retail application wants to get the itemsAddedToCart user data when processing checkout.
When the callback is provided, if the operation times out (5s) or an unexpected error occurs, the completion method is called with the appropriate AEPError.
UserProfile.getUserAttributes(attributeNames: ["itemsAddedToCart"]) { attributes, error in
// your customized code
}
Objective-C
Syntax
+ (void)getUserAttributesWithAttributeNames:(NSArray<NSString *> * _Nonnull) comletion:^(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> * _Nullable, enum AEPError)
Example
NSArray *attributes = @[@"itemsAddedToCart"];
[AEPMobileUserProfile getUserAttributesWithAttributeNames:attributes completion:^(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> * _Nullable, enum AEPError) {
        // your customized code
}];
Swift
Syntax
static func getUserAttributes(_ attributeNames: [String]?, withCompletionHandler completionHandler:([AnyHashable : Any]?, Error?) -> Void)
completionHandler is invoked after the customer attributes are available, or error if an unexpected error occurs or the request times out. The default timeout is 5s.
Example
A retail application wants to get the itemsAddedToCart user data when processing checkout.
ACPUserProfile.getUserAttributes(["itemsAddedToCart"], withCompletionHandler: {(dict: [AnyHashable: Any]?, error: Error?) -> Void in

    // your customized code
    }];
Syntax

attributeNames is an array of strings containing the names of user profile attributes to retrieve.
success is a callback containing the retrieved user profile attributes.
fail is a callback containing error information if the getUserAttributes API was executed with errors.
Example
