Steps
Register an app on the Geni developer platform and obtain an OAuth2 client_id/client_secret
Complete the applicable OAuth2 flow (server-side, client-side, mobile, desktop, or trusted-client) to obtain an access_token before calling profile endpoints
Call GET https://www.geni.com/api/profile-g<id> to fetch a single profile
Call GET https://www.geni.com/api/profile-g<id>/immediate-family to get the two-generation nuclear-family graph
Parse the 'nodes' collection: union-parentsfamily (father/mother/siblings/focus person) and union-focusfamily (focus person/spouse/children), each with 'edges' marking each profile's role as partner or child in that union
Known gotchas
New/unapproved apps get a very low default rate limit; higher limits require Geni to manually review and approve the app (via api@geni.com) — do not assume instant self-serve production access
Authenticated calls require a full OAuth2 flow (no simple static API-key mode)
Returned data is subject to Geni's collaborative big-tree merge model and per-profile privacy/visibility settings, which can limit or restructure the fields/edges returned
