If we know the resources location value, we can perform a GET directly on the user resource (which is defined in the "location" attribute in the "meta" section of the user record). So to retrieve Meredith's profile directly I can also perform the following command: 


curl -v --user 1234-aaaa-bbbb-5678:eXJzbmVha3kh \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
https://directory-api.pingone.com/v1/user/a7d67610-ceb5-4350-ba5a-746472c4f1f7

A successful request will result in a HTTP 200 OK response and the JSON representation of the user: 


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
