Get author details by the unique Care author ID
Details
Returns author details by the unique Care author ID. Use this call in conjunction with /api/v2/conversations/lswUuid or /api/v2/conversations/displayIds/displayNumber in order to get details about the author ID returned in the lswUuid field.
Calls such as /api/v2/conversations/lswUuid and /api/v2/conversations/displayIds/displayNumber return the unique author ID, but do not return other author attributes. You'll make an additional call to retrieve those attributes by ID. Note the differences in the attributes returned for the different network types due to Terms of Service obligations.
