I need to retrieve all notes associated with a contact id. I am using Integromat + Custom API Call, easy to experiment with.

The hubspot engagement note documentation is hard for me to follow.

Where do I put the contact id?

[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/notes?limit=10&properties=hs\_note\_body&associations=contact&archived=false&hapikey=YOUR\_HUBSPOT\_API\_KEY](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/notes?limit=10&properties=hs_note_body&associations=contact&archived=false&hapikey=YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY).

Hi @jaysonb,

You have two options here:

**Option 1:**

Get the associated note ids on the contact

> **[Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://app.hubspot.com/myaccounts?next=developerdocs&redirect=%2Fapi-reference%2Fcrm-associations-v3%2Fguide)**

```lia-code-sample
Post /crm/v3/associations/contact/note/batch/read

{"inputs": [{
"id": "457501"
}]}

```

Which will return:

`{ "status": "COMPLETE", "results": [{ "from": { "id": "457501" }, "to": [ { "id": "22570614037", "type": "contact_to_note" }, { "id": "22570614134", "type": "contact_to_note" }] } ], "startedAt": "2022-06-10T18:00:15.317Z", "completedAt": "2022-06-10T18:00:15.338Z" }`

Then batch get the note properties

> **[Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://app.hubspot.com/myaccounts?next=developerdocs&redirect=%2Fapi-reference%2Fcrm-notes-v3%2Fguide)**

```lia-code-sample
Post /crm/v3/objects/notes/batch/read

{"inputs": [
{"id": "22570614037"},
{"id": "22570614134"}
], "properties":["hs_note_body"]}

```

Which will return the details of the notes.

**Option 2:**

Post the search api

> **[Search the CRM - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/latest/crm/search-the-crm)**
>
> The CRM search endpoints make getting data more efficient by allowing developers to filter, sort, and search across any CRM object type.

```lia-code-sample
Post /crm/v3/objects/notes/search

{"filters":
[{"propertyName":"associations.contact","operator":"EQ","value":"457501"}],
"properties":["hs_note_body"]}

```

Which will return the details of the notes.

It may seem like option 2 is clearly better, but the search api has a seperate 4 per second api limit(seperate from all other requests). While the other two requests share the same 10 or 15(tier depending) api limit of all other requests.

Best,
