Users can use this REST API to retrieve the latest consent by passing Individual Id. Cloud Compliance’s Grouping Rules of Individual will associate each and every contact or lead record with an Individual.
All the consent management is implemented around Individual objects. Hence just by passing the Individual Id or list of Individual Ids to the Consent Retrieval API, the user can fetch the latest consents associated with that Individual.
The GET method used for Consent Retrieval is as follows.
