Getting Member Profile Fields

Profile fields are the various pieces of data about Members, such as first name, last name, birthdate, phone number and so forth. Each site has its own collections of profile fields, so users can add their own custom profile fields. Most sites include with the following profile fields at a minimum:

FieldName	Type	Size	Note
FirstName	StringField	100
LastName	StringField	100
StoreCode	StringField	100	This value indicates the location that the member is associated with. StoreCode format is typically 001, 002, 003, and so on.
InputSource	StringField	100	This value indicates how a member is created (example: through a subscribe page, through API Integration, etc.). Do not update an existing input source value during PATCH/UPDATE requests.
Birthdate	DateField		If applicable, members will receive special mailing for their birthday.
Example	DateField		If applicable, members will receive special mailing for their anniversary.
Example	DateField		If applicable, members will receive special welcome mailing. Please set to the current date when creating a member. Do not update this field during PATCH/UPDATE requests.

System.Int32	Int32Fields
