Introduction

With the Members About API, you can create and manage content for the "About" section in the member's profile. This section is initially blank, so members can write whatever they want to share. The section also supports rich content in this description, such as images, videos and GIFs, making it easy to create visually engaging descriptions.

The Members About API allows you to:

Terminology

  • Member Profile: A personalized space within the Members Area where a member's details and activity are displayed. The profile typically includes basic information (for example, name, profile picture), contact details, and additional sections such as "about," where members can share more about themselves.
  • About: A customizable section in the member's profile where they can share personal or professional information. This section can include plain text, rich content like images, videos, and GIFs, or a combination of these elements to help express the member’s personality, interests, or background.
  • Rich Content: Digital content that includes elements beyond plain text, such as images, videos, and interactive components.
