Customer Custom Attributes API

Retrieve customer custom attribute

GET

 /v2/customers/{customer_id}/custom-attributes/{key}

You can use the with_definition query parameter to also retrieve the custom attribute definition in the same call.

To retrieve a custom attribute owned by another application, the visibility setting must be VISIBILITY_READ_ONLY or VISIBILITY_READ_WRITE_VALUES. Note that seller-defined custom attributes (also known as custom fields) are always set to VISIBILITY_READ_WRITE_VALUES.
