Details on how to use the API: SearchByIndividual Service Making Requests
Enhancements:
1.In Previous versions of SearchByIndividual, ID searches were always using the "Equals" function to draw an exact match and Name searches were always doing a "BeginsWith". A new query parameter of "comparator" allows the user to override this functionality if required to use a different comparison method. However, if you use anything, but "equals" with date of birth, you may see incorrect results.
2. Additional query parameters of DOB, SSN, Cost Center, Employee ID, and Comparator are added.
All Query Parameters you can now pass:
UPI Netid Firstname Lastname Idcard Proxnumber Role (Staff, Faculty, Student, Affiliate, Employee, Member) Includefuture (Y, N (default is N)) DOB (date of birth, format yyyy-MM-dd works best) SSN (national identifier, if you have access) Costcenter employeeid Comparator (Equals, Beginswith, Like, In, Contains)
Example Queries:
For Names like Br Young:
DOB:
