I’m creating website that creates a page for each person in our department with their contact information. The page can then be linked to from a qr code on a business card.
What is the best way to get the information out of their SharePoint profiles?
edit: I’m not very familiar with creating stuff in Visual Studio. I’m using Ruby on Rails for the website and I’ve read SharePoint has REST services which would work great but I can’t seem to figure out how to access the User Profile information.
You don’t need to use Visual Studio. You just need to be able to use a SOAP based web service from Ruby. The documentation for the User Profile web service is here:
