I am looking for the merge contact API. The latest V3 API seems like does not has this API (Refer [https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts)). But I am able to find it from the legacy V1 merge contacts API [https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/merge-contacts](https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/merge-contacts) .

Does that mean that we cannot merge contacts using V3 API and have to use V1?

Thanks.

@KChan

Presently, yes, you will need to use the v1 endpint, but it is on the roadmap for the v3 endpoint

It appears that they added this endpoint to v3 since the original [post: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/contacts)
