Hi all,

Im trying to pass a email filter using the new v3 search like so:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "filterGroups": [
 {
 "filters": [
 {
 "value": "emailmaria@hubspot.com",
 "propertyName": "email",
 "operator": "EQ"
 }
 ]
 }
 ],
 "sorts": [
 "createdate"
 ],
 "properties": [
 "email,firstname,lastname,createdate"
 ],
 "limit": 10,
 "after": 1
}

```

and I have a contact with email **“[emailmaria@hubspot.com](mailto:emailmaria@hubspot.com)”**, but I’m not getting the data in the response.

Response:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "total": 1,
 "results": []
}

```

Hi @PramodJ ,  
Hope this will help for you.  
Please use below php code, which is working fine at our end.  
\<?php  
$data = ‘{  
“filterGroups”: [  
{  
“filters”: [  
{  
“value”: “[emailmaria@hubspot.com](mailto:emailmaria@hubspot.com)”,  
“propertyName”: “email”,  
“operator”: “EQ”  
}  
]  
}  
],  
“properties”: [  
“email,firstname,lastname,createdate”  
]  
}’;  
$ch = curl\_init();  
curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_URL, ‘[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search?hapikey=YOUR\_HUBSPOT\_API\_KEY](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search?hapikey=YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY)’);  
curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);  
curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_POST, 1);  
curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_POSTFIELDS, $data);  
$headers = array();  
$headers[] = ‘Content-Type: application/json’;  
curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_HTTPHEADER, $headers);  
$result = curl\_exec($ch);  
if (curl\_errno($ch)) {  
echo ‘Error:’ . curl\_error($ch);  
}  
curl\_close($ch);

Hope this helps!

Hey [@webdew](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/131510),

This works, the problem with my json request body was, there is 1 entry with that email and I had a non-zero value for **after**  **field** in the request body.

Thanks for the help!
