SharePoint REST query SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager

Question

Is it possible to get data using REST query like below:

http://moss.moss/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='user_domain\user'&$filter=DirectReports

And call by JavaScript.

I would like to create script which will check if user is a manager (has DirectReports) and next display JavaScript alert.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks! How can I replace 'Domain\\Login' to current user?

The following REST request /_api/Web/CurrentUser/LoginName returns the LoginName for the current user

I am trying to get "QuickLinks" from user profile, this request returns almost everything but "QuickLinks" is empty, I have tried CSOM to fetch user info but that also gives me empty string, getting quick links is not supported or I need to have a look somewhere else?

@stockDevs: If you want the properties for the current user you can replace /_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor[...] with /_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties
