When creating a bean given an ID a new bean is still created. Why?

Question

Hi,

I am working on a custom api call and I am using beans instead of an sql statement to get the info that I want. So I am doing something like this:

$in_customer_bean = BeanFactory::getBean("IN_Customers",$customer_id);

Then for debugging purposes I am returning the in_customer_bean to see what it is. It should be that record in the db only in bean form right?

When I view it in postman after doing a rebuild it given me back the correct type of object but everything is null or 0. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for the suggestion, but I figure out the problem which was I was using args instead of args['data'] as the ID and I didn't have a reference to require_once("path/To/BeanFactory").
