Get Accountable Person(s)

GET /v2/finplus/debtmanagement/accountablepersons (/{id})

This endpoint retrieves one or all accountable persons for the specified school.

  • By default, only accountable persons with active debtor accounts (current learners or accounts with an outstanding balance) are returned.

  • The all_accounts query parameter can be used to fetch all accountable persons, including those with left learners and zero-balance accounts.

  • The include_learners query parameter allows learners' data to be included in the response.

  • You can filter results using the debtor_code or accountable_person_id query parameters.

By default, this endpoint returns a collection of records, wrapped in a data array. To retrieve a single record, provide its ID in the URL, which will return a single object instead of a collection.

Pagination

The response data includes a meta object that contains pagination-specific metadata. You can use the following query parameters to control pagination:

  • limit: This parameter allows you to override the default limit of records returned, up to the max_allowed_limit specified in the response's meta object.

  • cursor: If the meta object contains a next_cursor field, it indicates that more records are available. To fetch the next set of records, include the cursor parameter in your request with the value of next_cursor. If the next_cursor field is not present, it means there are no more records to retrieve.

  • reverse_order: This parameter can be used to reverse the order in which the data is returned, useful for fetching the latest records first.
