User Profile JSON Example (API Response)

The example

The JSON above is the example. Explore it in the Tree tab, press Download to save it as a .json file, or Share to send someone a link to it. All names, ids, emails and values are invented.

Fields explained

Path	Type	Notes
`id`	number	A numeric identifier. Very large ids should be sent as strings.
`email`	string	example.com is reserved for documentation, so it never belongs to a real person.
`profile.bio`	null	A field that exists but has no value yet.
`roles`	array of strings	Permissions as a list of names.
`preferences.notifications`	object	Grouped boolean settings.
`createdAt`	string	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. JSON has no date type, so dates are strings.

Read it in code

JavaScript:

const user = await (await fetch("/api/users/1042")).json();
if (user.preferences.notifications.email) sendDigest(user.email);

Python:

user = requests.get(url).json()
if user["preferences"]["notifications"]["email"]:
    send_digest(user["email"])

What this example is good for

Mocking a users API in tests and documentation
Generating TypeScript, Zod or Python models from a realistic response
Trying the JSON Schema validator with required fields

Tips

Use ISO 8601 for dates and convert in your code.
Prefer null for a known but empty value and omit keys that do not apply.

Convert this example

Open it in a converter, then switch the output in the Code tab:
