Fetch profile by key
From ePrize Developers Wiki
Summary
Example of getting a profile by mobile number: GET /v1/{apikey}/profile(mobile)/1-888-555-1212
The client must not assume the format of the canonical profile URL returned in the Location. Other API calls take the entire URL as a profile identifier, so deconstructing the URL is not necessary. A GET on the URL will fetch the full (safe) representation of the profile.
important to refer back to basic request/response section on URL value restrictions
This URL is an entry point. It may be easily attacked because valid URLs are easy to guess.
