Hello can you help me to filter Contacts using the params ‘fields’ at
What I tried that did not work are:
https://account.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts?filters[fields][%phone%]=01234567890
https://account.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts?filters[fields][phone]=01234567890
https://account.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts?filters[phone]=01234567890
https://account.api-us1.com/api/3/contacts?fields[phone]=01234567890
Thank you
its always returning the record even the phone number does not exist.
I want to use the query params ‘fields’ because I want to extend the filter with custom field.
I’ve followed this up with Support via email and apparently the correct API call is:
https://[accountname].api-us1.com//api/3/contacts?filters[custom-field-name]=01234567890
However there is a bug with the endpoint and it does not work. This bug has been acknowledged by Support and passed to their Developers.
I can confirm … this filter is ignored
Do we have an ETA on this being fixed?
I need this for an application.
Alternatively, is there another way to return specific contacts based on a search?
If I use the email field, the filter works if I have the full email. The “contains” functionality doesn’t work.
Also if I try and use any other field, nothing is returned. I’ve tried firstName, lastName, & orgid
If I mispell the field name, all contacts are returned.
I’ve contacted support and got confirmation that contacts filtering doesn’t currently work with API v3. I was suggested to use API v1 for now as a workaround, with filters[fields][%PERSTAG%]=Value
I’ve followed this approach but filters[fields][%PERSTAG%]=1 will return contacts having any value starting with “1”, like “111” or “1whatever”. Is there a way to have an exactly match here?
My workaround for now is padding the number so 1 -> 000000001 on the field, 23 -> 0000000023.
This way all data is normalised to have 10 digits and so the search works like an exact match
