When I get a user using the API, the reputation value is always the same as the number of likes received. It’s the same for every user I’ve queried.

Is this a known issue? Does anyone else get the same thing happen?

reputation is this bar that shows on profiles (pointless imo). It’s based on likes 

Reputation is not user points. If you’re looking for points you need to use the Get Assigned Points* API operation because they may not be in the payload data of the API operaiton you’re using for all that other user data.

Ah. Thank you. That makes more sense. I thought it was odd that it would be wrong but no-one had mentioned it before.
