SharePoint Person field in Rest API

Question

I have one sharepoint list which is using Person Field, which data source is a user in SharePoint

If I use OData url with "FieldValuesAsText" I can see data like username. However without FieldValuesAsText I can only get a int value seems it's the user id.

Since, my list is very big and want to retrieve data in minimum number of calls. looking for some kind of approach or URL which will help me achieve the same in Rest API

Hi @g h ,

Try to expand Person field to get username like this:

.../_api/web/lists/getbytitle('ListName')/items?$select=MyUserField/Name&$expand=MyUserField
