Overview

Retrieves complete details for a specific person, including current evaluation status and risk assessment. You can fetch a person in three ways:

Method	Endpoint	Use when
By ID	`GET /entities/{id}`	You have gu1’s internal entity UUID
By external ID	`GET /entities/by-external-id/{externalId}`	You use your own identifier (e.g. `customer_12345`)
By tax ID	`GET /entities/by-tax-id/{taxId}`	You have the person’s tax ID (e.g. CUIT, CPF) and want to look them up

All three return the same person object. The organization scope is enforced by your API key.

Endpoints

GET http://api.gu1.ai/entities/{id}

string

required

Get by tax ID

GET http://api.gu1.ai/entities/by-tax-id/{taxId}

string

required

The person’s tax identification number (format depends on country: CUIT for Argentina, CPF for Brazil, etc.). Must match the entity’s stored tax ID within your organization.

    f"http://api.gu1.ai/entities/by-external-id/{external_id}",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
)
person = response.json()

Get by tax ID

curl -X GET "http://api.gu1.ai/entities/by-tax-id/20-12345678-9" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

const taxId = '20-12345678-9'; // e.g. CUIT (AR)
const response = await fetch(
  `http://api.gu1.ai/entities/by-tax-id/${encodeURIComponent(taxId)}`,
  { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }
);
const person = await response.json();

Use Cases

KYC Verification Check

Retrieve a customer to check their KYC status before approving a transaction:

const person = await fetch(`http://api.gu1.ai/entities/${customerId}`, {
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' }
}).then(res => res.json());

if (person.kycVerified && person.status === 'active') {
  // Proceed with transaction
  console.log('Customer verified, risk score:', person.riskScore);
} else {
  // Request additional verification
  console.log('KYC verification required');
}

Risk Score Monitoring

Check the current risk score and factors for ongoing monitoring:

person = requests.get(
    f'http://api.gu1.ai/entities/{person_id}',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'}
).json()

if person['riskScore'] > 70:
    # High risk - trigger enhanced due diligence
    print(f"High risk person detected: {person['riskScore']}")
    print("Risk factors:", person['riskFactors'])
elif person['riskScore'] > 40:
    # Medium risk - apply additional monitoring
    print(f"Medium risk person: {person['riskScore']}")
