Your BidAuc profile is the first thing seekers and providers see when evaluating whether to work with you. A complete profile — with accurate contact details, a verified address, and a recognizable profile picture — signals reliability and increases the likelihood that seekers accept your bids or that providers respond to your jobs. This guide walks through loading your current profile, updating your details, and uploading a photo.
View your current profile
Retrieve your full profile to see what is already on file:
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/user/loadProfile \
-b cookies.txt

"userDetails": {
"_id": "64a1f2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1",
"userName": {
"firstName": "Alex",
"lastName": "Reyes"
},
"email": "alex@example.com",
"phoneNumber": 9123456789,
"role": "Seeker",
"address": {
"line1": "12 Sampaguita St",
"line2": "Brgy. San Jose",
"landmark": "Near City Hall",
"city": "Quezon City",

},
"businessName": "No Business Name Added",

}
}
Update personal details
Send a partial update with only the fields you want to change. You do not need to include every field in each request.
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/user/updatePersonalDetails \
-b cookies.txt \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"userName": {
"firstName": "Alexandra",
"lastName": "Reyes"
},
"address": {
"line1": "45 Mahogany Ave",
"line2": "Brgy. Pinyahan",
"landmark": "Beside BDO branch",
"city": "Quezon City",
"zipCode": "1100"
},
"businessName": "Reyes Home Services"
}'
{
"success": true,
"message": "User details updated successfully"
}
| Field | Description |
|---|
userName.firstName | First name |
userName.lastName | Last name |
email | Email address |
phoneNumber | Contact number |
address.line1 | Street address line 1 |
address.line2 | Street address line 2 |
address.landmark | Nearby landmark |
address.city | City |
address.zipCode | Postal / zip code |
businessName | Business or trade name (providers) |
If you are a provider, fill in businessName with your trade or company name. It appears alongside your bids and profile, and seekers are more likely to accept bids from providers who look established and professional.
Upload a profile picture
Profile pictures are uploaded separately as a multipart/form-data request. Use the field name profilePicture:
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/user/uploadProfilePicture \
-b cookies.txt \
-F "profilePicture=@/path/to/photo.jpg"
{
"success": true,
"message": "Profile picture updated successfully",
"profilePic": "public/static/Assets/uploads/profile-pictures/1716652800000-482910374.jpg"
}
Uploading a new profile picture automatically deletes the previous one from the server. There is no need to remove the old image manually before uploading a replacement.
Check your account role
You can verify whether your account is registered as a provider or a seeker:
# Check if the current user is a provider
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/user/isProvider \
-b cookies.txt
# Check if the current user is a seeker
curl -X GET http://localhost:5000/user/isSeeker \
-b cookies.txt
