We’d like to hear from you!

This page should be updated to clarify that the ID input is actually a path parameter, for example: {$baseURL}/profiling-service/api/v1/profile/{$id}/execute

My initial impression from this document was that "ID" was supposed to be passed in the JSON body of the POST request, which is not correct.

Hi Robert Doan,

We’re working to address your comments and we'll update the docs in an upcoming release.

Thanks,

Informatica Documentation team
