Hello there,

I have a problem, it’s not related to performance, but it’s confusing.  
By endpoint Post **[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search)** I want to filter it by a custom field - it’s a number with 19 characters.  
In response, I get a modified number, the last few digits turn into zeros.

 ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/d/adc68094cf04c493196c99477b7380615715c00f.png)

Why such behavior?

Thanks in adv!

Hello @MakeDevelopment  
You are using 19 digits. HubSpot only supports numbers with up to 18 digits. When you try to filter by a custom field with more than 18 digits, the API will automatically truncate the number to 18 digits.

Hi @himanshurauthan

Thanks for the reply, it’s all clear now 🙂  
Is this mentioned somewhere in the documentation?
