I can get contact by email using API v1, but couldn’t find any way to do so via v3. Is there a solution ? ---

Support this one from 2018: [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Find-Contacts-with-Multiple-Email-Addresses/idi-p/194773](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Find-Contacts-with-Multiple-Email-Addresses/idi-p/194773) ---

I finally managed to get this to work. If you look at their description under contacts: [Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts) it says the following: “The idProperty query parameter doesn’t appear on the Endpoints tab due to technical limitations, but it can be used for contacts exclusively with email. To use an email address as the unique identifier, set the idProperty as email and enter the email address in place of the contact ID. This should be set as a query parameter rather than added to the request body.” so the url request would be: [https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/) + email\_address + ?idProperty=email ---

Thanks @digs - I will try this later today as we do have customers with multiple emails and we want to find the correct contact no matter which email they use. ---

Also looking to solve this but with the ruby client [GitHub - HubSpot/hubspot-api-ruby: HubSpot API Ruby Client Libraries for V3 version of the API · GitHub](https://github.com/HubSpot/hubspot-api-ruby) - anyone else been able to use this for fetching a contact by email? ---

@MBrien this worked for me ```lia-code-sample client = Hubspot::Client.new client.get_by_id('test@email.com', {archived: false, id_property: 'email'}) ``` ---

Since they keep messing with their code, here’s what I’ve found works with version 15.0.1 of the gem ```lia-code-sample # In initializer $hubspot = Hubspot::Client.new(access_token: ENV['HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN']) # Find contact by email. Normally from a model email = 'test@test.com' hs_contact = $hubspot.crm.contacts.basic_api.get_by_id(contact_id: email, id_property: 'email', archived: false) rescue nil ``` ---
