Using the Person API
Consumers of the Person API will need a client, in their language of choice, capable of calling a REST API. The Person API is a JSON:API compliant API, so many clients that can handle JSON:API should work with it.
To manually test the API we recommend using Postman . Please refer to our documentation on the Person API Postman Collection for more information.
