User Profile Management

Querying and modifying your own profile

Call the ProfileGetUserProfileList API (Details) and enter a user's UserID for the friendship_getprofilelist_param_identifier_array parameter to query the user's profile.
Call the ProfileModifySelfUserProfile API (Details) to modify a user's profile.
Sample code:
// Get a user's profile
FriendShipGetProfileListParam param = new FriendShipGetProfileListParam
{
  friendship_getprofilelist_param_identifier_array = new List<string>
  {
    "self_user_id"
  }
};
TIMResult res = TencentIMSDK.ProfileGetUserProfileList(param, (int code, string desc, List<UserProfile> profile, string user_data)=>{
 // Process the async logic
});

// Set the user's profile
UserProfileItem param = new UserProfileItem{
  user_profile_item_nick_name = "new_nick_name"
};
TIMResult res = TencentIMSDK.ProfileGetUserProfileList(param, (int code, string desc, string user_data)=>{
 // Process the async logic
});


Querying the user profile of a non-friend

Call the ProfileGetUserProfileList API (Details) and enter the UserID of a non-friend user for the friendship_getprofilelist_param_identifier_array parameter to query the profile of the non-friend user.
Note:
The profile of a non-friend user cannot be modified.

Querying and modifying a friend's profile

Call the FriendshipGetFriendsInfo API (Details) to query the profile of the specified friend. The relationship between the user and the friend can be obtained through the friendship_friend_info_get_result_relation_type field of the FriendInfoGetResult in the callback:
relation
Relationship
TIMFriendshipRelationType.kTIMFriendshipRelationType_None
Not a friend
TIMFriendshipRelationType.kTIMFriendshipRelationType_BothFriend
Two-way friend
TIMFriendshipRelationType.kTIMFriendshipRelationType_InMyFriendList
The user is in your contacts.
TIMFriendshipRelationType.kTIMFriendshipRelationType_InOtherFriendList
You are in the user's contacts.
// Get the information of a friend
TIMResult res = TencentIMSDK.FriendshipGetFriendsInfo(friend_userids, (int code, string desc, List<FriendInfoGetResult> result, string user_data)=>{
 // Process the async logic
});
Call the FriendshipModifyFriendProfile API (Details) to modify the information of a friend such as remarks.
// Set the friend's information
FriendshipModifyFriendProfileParam param = new FriendshipModifyFriendProfileParam
{
  friendship_modify_friend_profile_param_identifier = "friend_userid",
  friendship_modify_friend_profile_param_item = new FriendProfileItem
  {
    friend_profile_item_remark = "nickname" // Friend remarks
  }
};
TIMResult res = TencentIMSDK.FriendshipModifyFriendProfile(param, (int code, string desc, string user_data)=>{
 // Process the async logic
});

FAQs

What should I do if the user profile obtained in the Enhanced edition is not the latest?

There are two types of user profile updates in the enhanced SDK:
Friend's profile: When the profile of a friend is updated, the backend will send a system notification to the SDK, so the profile will be updated in real time.
Non-friend user's profile: When the profile of a non-friend user is updated, the backend cannot send a system notification to the SDK; therefore, the profile cannot be updated in real time. To avoid sending a network request to the backend every time the user profile is obtained, the SDK adds the caching logic and allows a user to pull the profile from the backend every ten minutes.
