Hi @SJohnson0 👋

You might consider using the [HubSpot CRM “Read Contact” endpoint](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts). The documentation gives the following example where Node is the client library in play:

```lia-code-sample
const hubspot = require('@hubspot/api-client');

const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({"accessToken":"YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"});

const contactId = "12345"; // replace with the relevant contact id
const properties = undefined;
const propertiesWithHistory = undefined;
const associations = [
 "companies,deals" // comma-separated list of target associated object-types
];
const archived = false;

try {
 const apiResponse = await hubspotClient.crm.contacts.basicApi.getById(contactId, properties, propertiesWithHistory, associations, archived);
 console.log(JSON.stringify(apiResponse, null, 2));
} catch (e) {
 e.message === 'HTTP request failed'
 ? console.error(JSON.stringify(e.response, null, 2))
 : console.error(e)
}

```

I hope this proves useful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
