Hi There,

When I use the query below in Postman, I receive a 200 response, but the response body is empty (seeing this). The identity exists in Idnow, but I’m not receiving the expected response. Can anyone assist me with this?

Method : Post  
API :[https://corpnet4-dev.api.identitynow.com/v3/search?count=true&offset=0&limit=50](https://corpnet4-dev.api.identitynow.com/v3/search?count=true&offset=0&limit=50)

“query”: {  
“query”: “uid:"ac8xxxxxxx"”  
},  
“indicies”: [  
“identities”  
],  
“includeNested”: false,  
“sort”: [  
“displayName”  
]  
}

Thanks,  
Harish G

uid is inside the attributes object, so ensure your query reflects that

```JSON
{
    "query": {
        "query": "attributes.uid:\"ac8xxxxxxx\""
    },
    "indicies": [
        "identities"
    ],
    "includeNested": false,
    "sort": [
        "displayName"
    ]
}

```
