Example JavaScript API Code:
fetch('https://api.jailbase.com/api/1/search/?source_id='+source_id+'&last_name='+last_name+'&first_name='+first_name, {method: 'GET', mode: 'cors'}) .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => console.log(data)) .catch(error => console.log('Error:', error));
In the above example code, we use the fetch() method to make a GET request to the JailBase API's search endpoint. We pass in three parameters: source_id, last_name and first_name, which are the source id, last name, and first name of the inmate we are searching for. The response from the API, which contains the search results, is then converted to JSON format, and the data is logged to the console.
