Hi @SMehta7 ,

The contacts API will only return the default properties, if you want additional properties, you’ll have to define those in your API call:

[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/\](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/%5C)?properties=parentcompany&properties=companyowner&properties=yearfounded

Hi @SMehta7 ,

Similar to my comment in your question about the deals API, you’ll need to make sure that the internal name of the property is used in the API request, as an example, ‘JobTitle’ is not valid but ‘jobtitle’ is. You can view the internal name of a property through the property settings and clicking on the **‘\</\>’** icon.
