Person Report Result

GET /api/v2/person_report/{uuid} operationId: person_report_result

Live: https://gdapi.globaldata.net.au/api/v2/person_report/{uuid} · Sandbox: https://sandbox-gdapi.globaldata.net.au/api/v2/person_report/{uuid}

Experimental

The Person Report API is still in the experimental stage and is subject to change.

Polls for the result of a Person Report request. Free of charge - only the originating POST /person_report is billed (and, for accounts billed on success, only when the outcome is resolved).

Poll until status is complete or error. Typical turnaround is a few seconds; allow up to a minute when court and social sections are included. Results are retained for 24 hours.

status Meaning
pending Queued, not yet started.
processing Running; status_message describes the current step.
complete Finished - the body carries resolution and, when resolved, report and provenance.
error The report could not be produced; status_message explains. Nothing is billed.

When complete, the body is the full report response described on POST /person_report: resolution.outcome (resolved | low_confidence | ambiguous | too_many | not_found), report (resolved only), and provenance (sources, inferences, research notes). request_reference is the api_reference of the originating request - the billing correlation id.

PDF

Append ?pdf=true to receive the completed report as a formatted PDF (application/pdf) instead of JSON - the resolution summary, every section, and the research notes, inferences and sources as an appendix. While the request is still pending or processing the JSON status is returned regardless. Candidate tokens are only available in the JSON form.

Sandbox

The sandbox queue runs synchronously, so the result is normally complete on the first poll.
