URL too long on https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/lists/all/contacts/all

[Frederic_Laruel]

Hi,
We need to iterate through all contacts via the API, and fetch all of their properties.
Supplying all properties via the URL does not work (we get HTTP 400),
example URL length below is over 15K chars!?
any ideas? (other than processing properties in subsets)

Example url:
https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/lists/all/contacts/all?hapikey=XXX&count=100&property=accepting_o...

@Frederic_Laruelle If you need every property the best way is to use the Get Contact by ID endpoint.

developers.hubspot.com

Get a contact by its vid

GET /contacts/v1/contact/vid/:vid/profile - For a given portal, return information about a single contact by its ID. The contact's unique ID's is stored in a field called 'vid' which stands for 'visitor ID'.

I understand this will take a lot of API calls but the get all endpoint wasn’t made to be that verbose intentionally to limit the possibility of a network timeout due to a huge payload.

[Frederic_Laruel]

Understood, however we have many joint customers and many of them have contact lists in the 100K+ range…
What’s more, we are unable to fetch just the contacts that have been updated in the past day or so, so we have to fetch them all every time.
Adding filtering by last updated date would greatly help as well…

@Frederic_Laruelle You could potentially set up a webhook to fire off from hubspot each time the contact has been updated. You could set it around the contact property “Last Updated”

[Frederic_Laruel]

Webhook is a no go for us… we refresh each of our client’s data daily, we are not setup to listen to third party systems such as hubspot.

@Frederic_Laruelle You have two options then

1. would be to loop through all of your contacts one by one.

2. You could try the batch endpoint as I believe that returns the majority of the contact properties by default

developers.hubspot.com

Get a batch of contacts by vid

GET /contacts/v1/contact/vids/batch/ - For a given portal, return information about a group of contacts by their unique ID's. A contact's unique ID's is stored in a field called 'vid' which stands for 'visitor ID'.
