# Find a buyer

> Find a customer record by our ID or your own identifier.

The [`GET /buyers`][api] API makes it possible to find a buyer by its `external_identifier` value.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.example.gr4vy.app/buyers?external_identifier=fe26475d-ec3e-4884-9553-f7356683f7f9" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer [JWT_TOKEN]"
  ```

  ```js Node
  const buyers = await client.listBuyers("fe26475d-ec3e-4884-9553-f7356683f7f9");
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If no buyers could be found the returned items will be an empty list.

```json GET /buyers?external_identifier=fe26475d-ec3e-4884-9553-f7356683f7f9

  "items": [
    {
