Get Metadata information from SharePoint server

Hi Vivek Rajan
The API will return AuthorId and EditorId by default, which contain the ID of the user that created and edited the item.
If you want to return expanded properties of the user, you have to include Author and Editor on the expand parameter:
$expand=Author,Editor
You can then select user properties like the example below
$select=Author/ID,Author/Title,Author/EMail&$expand=Author
Also, be aware that the properties are case sensitive. For example, email needs to be "EMail"
Hope this helps
