What you get back

When it worked, the answer is { "ok": true, "result": { … } }. Inside result:

`id`	A attendee id. Other actions take it.
`providerId`	A member id. Other actions take it.
`name`	string
`isSelf`	1 \| 0
`hidden`	1 \| 0
`pictureUrl`	string
`profileUrl`	A profile link. Other actions take it.
`specifics.memberUrn`	string
`specifics.occupation`	string
`specifics.networkDistance`	SELF \| DISTANCE_1 \| DISTANCE_2 \| DISTANCE_3 \| OUT_OF_NETWORK
`specifics.pendingInvitation`	boolean
`specifics.location`	string
`specifics.headline`	string

A field that does not apply to an answer is left out, or is null. There are 5 more fields nested inside these.

When it did not work, the answer is { "ok": false, "error": "…", "message": "…" }. What each error means.

Good to know

It carries no public name for a profile link; get_profile_details with providerId gives one.
