How to use /crm/v3/objects/contacts/batch/read

GLittle9 — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 20:15:40 GMT

The documentation at https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts does not explain what this information returned from the API call is:

"links": {
"additionalProp1": "string",
"additionalProp2": "string",
"additionalProp3": "string"
}

What are those and how are they used? Rather than answering here, please point me to the webpage that explains them!

@GLittle9 consider running a test api call on your portal and explore the results you get (see a real example below).

The documentation can take you a long way, but then you have to put in the work.

eg.

{ "status": "COMPLETE", "results": [ { "id": "88706", "properties": { "createdate": "2022-02-25T16:19:07.305Z", "email": "melanie84@reinhardt.de", "firstname": "Miroslaw", "hs_object_id": "88706", "lastmodifieddate": "2022-06-03T14:14:23.589Z", "lastname": "Langern" }, "createdAt": "2022-02-25T16:19:07.305Z", "updatedAt": "2022-06-03T14:14:23.589Z", "archived": false } ], "startedAt": "2022-07-22T08:13:29.596Z", "completedAt": "2022-07-22T08:13:29.623Z" }

Thanks, Martin. That is what I've been doing.

I just think that the documentaion could be much, much better with real samples!

The new API documents do include an example:

But they do not show the call that results in that example!
