Data Source:  People Hub

These services should be used for getting batches of data for applications. All requests are made using basic authentication and you will need to pass the credentials from your application.

The GET service will return all attributes you have access too, the options are the "GetPeopleService" and the "LimitedPeopleService", see the service contracts below for details. The LimitedPeopleService contains less attributes, but the more generic ones. Note: An enhancement was deployed to Production in June 2019 to enable filtering on GetPeopleService click this link for details: Version Notes 1.3

The POST service will enable you to pass parameters listed below and in the PeopleService contract. This gives you some flexibility in datasets and in attributes returned.
