Steps

  1. Enable the RESTCardholders (and related) licence on the Command Centre server, then generate a REST API key from the server config
  2. Call GET /api on the server root to discover the current feature hrefs (e.g. features.cardholders.cardholders.href) rather than hardcoding paths
  3. Send requests with header Authorization: GGL-API-KEY <key> (Basic auth with the key as password is also supported from v9.0)
  4. Call the discovered cardholders href with query params such as name (substring match; quote for exact), pdf_{id} for personal data fields, division, accessZone, sort and top for paging
  5. Follow the next.href link in the response to page through results until it is absent
