Query profiles based on attributes

[jacobs21261531]

I'd like to query a list of profiles that are associated with certain attributes. For instance, if i have an email address I'd like to find the profile and the Identity Namespace ID associated with the profile so I can look it up in the profile detail pages. 

Am I able to query profiles in this way and if so what would that process look like?

Have you tried teh profile look up within the UI? In addition you can try query profile snapshot dataset see below

Yes, unfortunately our only identity namespace ID that can be used for search is an internal ID which requires a lookup. Typically, when looking up a profile we're given more accessible customer information like hashed email or phone, so I'm looking for a way to easily reverse search our Namespace ID from other profile information. That way I can go back to the profile lookup and search.

The lookup can be a dataset that you import into AEP. Use Data Distiller with Profile Snapshot and you should be good to go. You can generate a set of searches dataset on schedule for verification.

you can query (using query service) the profile snapshot dataset with the filter condition in email attribute and get the identity, which you can then use to lookup the profile.

You should read this document I published:

Profile snapshot datasets is the answer you are looking for and you can use SQL on it.
