Hello, I would like to make an HTTP request that performs a GET using the email as the key, not the Record ID.

Does anyone know a way?

Hi [@AJúnior](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/639724)

There’s an old (Version 1) API Call to [Get a Contact by Email address](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/get_contact_by_email).

However, the more current (Version 3) technique is to use the [Search API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/search).

Have fun

Mike
