Re: Borrower Information

It sounds like you want to use this method:

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how to get more information ab the borrower? I actually need the history of the borrower?

In the link: http://www.kiva.org/lend/436313

I would like to get the following information:

"Sa Aem is 61 years old from Kampong Cham province, Cambodia. She is widowed and blessed with three children. She is a homemaker. Her children are employed. They are construction workers and a cosmetics seller. They earn about $18 per day. In order to improve her family’s finances, Sa Aem is requesting a loan of $1000 to purchase more cosmetics for her child to resell. By doing so, she will earn more profit to support her family. In the future, she would like to expand her business and build a new house as soon as possible."

I am currently using this url: http://api.kivaws.org/v1/lenders/<lender_id>/loans.xml

to get the information about the loans and borrowers. Is that correct?

I also need the Borrower gender.

Thanks in advance,

Fernando

Not sure if there is a direct way, but there is an indirect way, look at the number of "borrower" tags in the "borrowers" tag.

For example at: http://api.kivaws.org/v1/loans/439413.xml

You'll see there are 3 borrowers, thus it's a group loan, any loan with > 1 borrower should be a group loan.

<borrowers type="list">

<borrower>

<first_name>Luisa María</first_name>

<last_name/>

<gender>M</gender>

Thanks Noah! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Also, about the borrower is it possible to know if it's a group or a single person?

Cheers,

Fernando
