My Customer Profile

The My Customer Profile endpoint creates and provides access to a customer profile scoped to a specific user. The endpoint requires an access token from the password flow or anonymous session flow. This endpoint is also used to sign up (create) a customer from an anonymous session, or sign in (merge) an anonymous session to an existing account.

The My Customer Profile endpoint intentionally provides access to a limited subset of the fields on a Customer. This provides extra security in scenarios when the client application must communicate directly with the commercetools API on behalf of a customer, such as commerce in a mobile application. If you need to modify a field available on the full Customer resource, pass the response from the My Customer Profile endpoint to an internal service in your client application which accesses the Customer resource.

Representations

All representations are JSON objects submitted or received as payload to API requests or responses. Responses are equal to the responses on the customers endpoint, but requests may differ. The customer group, the customer number and external ID can not be set via this endpoint.
