Bug report - v3 contacts API not able to find emails with special characters using IN operator

Not sure if this is the correct place to report bugs, but couldn’t find any other.

IN operator for email: not working

EQ operator for email: working

Hey @davidfrankl,

The current supported operators on the search v3 API are:

  • EQ
  • NEQ
  • LT
  • LTE
  • GT
  • GTE
  • HAS_PROPERTY
  • NOT_HAS_PROPERTY
  • CONTAINS_TOKEN
  • NOT_CONTAINS_TOKEN

As such, I wouldn’t expect the IN operator to be working.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for your quick response. IN is indeed working - we have been using it for few weeks now. Seems to be undocumented/experimental functionality. It is working for all regular chars, but not special ones. Though not really a bug if it is not “official”.

Hey @davidfrankl,

While the `IN` operator may appear to be working previously for you, HubSpot doesn’t currently support this function and I do not believe it is part of our product roadmap to support the `IN` opeartor in the near future.

In this case, one other suggestion that I have for your team is to create a list within HubSpot and use the Get contacts in a list | Contact Lists API to retrieve the contacts in a list.
