SharePoint REST query SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager

Question

Is it possible to get data using REST query like below:

http://moss.moss/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetPropertiesFor(accountName=@v)?@v='user_domain\user'&$filter=DirectReports

And call by JavaScript.

I would like to create script which will check if user is a manager (has DirectReports) and next display JavaScript alert.

Thanks in advance!
