when I tried GET contacts api , the dates paramerter is ignoring. but we need to do filter by lastmodified (or any dates) using GET method only (not using search api, because it is POST method)

Hey, @MMurthy0 👋 I understand what you are asking for, but the Contacts API doesn’t accept search query parameters, as you noted. Either using the Search API or handling it with middleware or a similar external solution. You could get creative and leverage an Active List, [**poll the list membership**](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/api/crm/lists/overview#retrieve-lists) at some frequency, and then submit the IDs to the BATCH Contacts endpoint to return more details. Or, you can look into [**Webhooks**](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/apps/private-apps/create-and-edit-webhook-subscriptions-in-private-apps) as an option for getting only Object records that have an update to a specific property, for example.

Best,

Jaycee
