The “offset” paramater mentioned in this doc should be “vidOffset”

Hi @thaynsworth , thanks for reaching out! Just checked that _Get All Contact Lists_ endpoint using both **vidOffset** and **offset**. It appears that offset should be the correct parameter. Requests with **vidOffset** were not respected.

Thanks for the reply.

I could be missing something. But using offset was continuously returning the first offset number provided and only the first 20 results(in my case).

Switching to vidOffset pulled the updated offset number each time and is returning my full list.

Hi @thaynsworth , are you looking at the right endpoint? What is the request URL you’re using? The Get contact lists endpoint’s offset parameter should be spelled “offset”.

My apologies. I’m actually using this API which vidOffset is correct: [https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/get\_contacts](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/get_contacts)

Explains why it’s working for me. Sorry for the confusion!

No problem @thaynsworth 🙂 Glad it was just a bit of miscommunication instead of a problem with the product!
