Get recently created contacts API issue

I’m having some issues with the “Get recently created contacts” API call. I’m expecting it to return a list of contacts created since a specific time by passing timeOffset=X. However, I’m getting a paginated list of all contacts returned. Am I misreading the documentation?
E.g. If I call curl "api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/lists/all/contacts/recent?hapikey=demo&count=10&timeOffset=1538557440000"
then the response includes contacts created before the timeOffset I have passed, which is not what I would expect.

Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon

It does not seems to be feasible for now.

Instead you can read recently created contacts in descending order.
First call without timeOffset - api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/lists/all/contacts/recent?hapikey=demo&count=10

and call API with pagination and check until timeOffset of last contact in API response is greater than the date from which you need contacts.

Hope this helps.
