# Tutorial 1: Basic Person API

In this tutorial we will try to call a basic API to get a sample Person JSON response. You can then use this JSON object in your application to pre-fill your online application form.

***

## 1. Invoke the Sandbox Person API

Open another browser window and type in the following URL:

```
https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v3/person-sample/S9812381D
```

This will call our sandbox API using HTTPS GET.

`S9812381D` is the *UINFIN* (NRIC or FIN) parameter which refers to the ID of the person you wish to get the data of. For this sample API, the following *UINFIN* are supported:

* S9812381D
* S9812382B
* S9812385G
* S9812387C
* S9912363Z
* S9912366D
* S9912369I
* S9912370B
* S9912372I
* S9912374E
* S6005053H
* S6005055D
* S9812379B
* F1612347K
* G1612348Q
* G1612349N
* G1612350T
* G1612352N
* G1612353L

Please refer to our [API specifications](https://public.cloud.myinfo.gov.sg/myinfo/api/myinfo-kyc-v3.2.html) for this tutorial.

## 2. Verify the JSON response

You should get a response JSON file which looks like this:

## 3. Using the JSON Object

Try using the JSON object in your own application to prefill your forms!

## Summary

You've successfully called a basic Person API and gotten a sample JSON response from Myinfo.

Before trying out Tutorial 2, you will need to understand the OAuth Process.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.developer.singpass.gov.sg/docs/legacy-myinfo-v3-v4/technical-specifications/myinfo-v3/tutorials/tutorial-1-basic-person-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
