Tutorial 1: Myinfo Person sample Data

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

1. Request

Open another browser window and type in the following URL:

https://sandbox.api.myinfo.gov.sg/com/v4/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

This API will take in the actual UINFIN as the sub for easier reference, however in the actual implementation UUID of the user will be used instead.

Please refer to our API specifications for this tutorial.
