That hasn't been my experience. Here's a sample of the output from Postman, which uses Okta API calls to retrieve data. The output is the result of this GET : https://put.your.okta.tenant.here/api/v1/users/put.your.okta.username.here, and although it's just a partial shot of the result, it contains a mix of standard and custom attributes, including those whose value was null.

I don't know if that helps you at all, but I would recommend downloading Postman. It's free, and the Okta developer site has Postman collections that make it really easy to learn, experiment and develop solutions using API calls.

Gabriel's powershell stuff is great (https://github.com/gabrielsroka, for anyone reading this who hasn't discovered it already). I use the powershell module and the rockstar add-in for Chrome, which saves me a lot of time.

What version of the OktaAPI module are you using? I've got the 1.0.12 version, and the output from Get-OktaUser includes all the populated (non-null) profile attributes.

Mike...you nailed it! My version of the module was older than I realized. I updated, and now everything works exactly as I would hope.

I did have to update my code to use something along the lines of

$users = (get-oktausers -filter $filter).objects.profile

instead of $users = (get-oktauser -filter $filter).profile

but no big deal there.

Thanks!

Mike,

Thanks for the nice comments. Good to hear from you again!

James,

What you're seeing here is that Get-OktaUsers returns a page (so you can paginate, if you have more than 200 users). The page of users is available using $page.objects

There are several examples on:

https://github.com/gabrielsroka/OktaAPI.psm1/blob/master/CallOktaAPI.ps1

or see the code below. I've added an example to my readme file, too.

Also, if you don't need PowerShell and are looking for something quicker and easier, check out:

https://gabrielsroka.github.io/rockstar/

$params = @{filter = 'status eq "ACTIVE"'}

do {

  $page = Get-OktaUsers @params

  $users = $page.objects

  foreach ($user in $users) {

    # You can add more properties here:

    Write-Host $user.profile.login $user.profile.email

  }

  $params = @{url = $page.nextUrl}

} while ($page.nextUrl)
