Current version: 1.0
For versioning details, read the Upgrade guide.

The Profiles API allows apps to retrieve Squarespace site users.

A site user can be a customer, mailing list subscriber, or donor that are traditionally accessible through the Profiles panel.

Site visitors become site users when they perform one of the following actions:

  • Registers an account with the site
  • Performs an e-commerce guest checkout or donation on the site
  • Subscribes to a newsletter or campaigns mailing list

API resources

The Profiles API allows for the retrieval of Profile resource objects. Every Profile contains information about a site user and has the following characteristics:

  • A unique email address
  • An approximate address for the user based on existing data (always generated internally, not created by the API)
  • A summary of the user's commerce transactions, such as orders or donations (generated asynchronously from the site)
