What is 'identity-profiles' in contact

Developer Support APIs & Integrations
1

Hi,

When sending a get request for Get a contact record by its vid I am getting details of the contact. Inside the API response, I found a field ‘identity-profiles’ and its have a property ‘identities’. My question is what exactly identity-profiles is? What is identities type stand for? What are the type LEAD_GUID, TAG_ID etc? Is there any documentation out there!

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi @Shakil,

The identity-profiles array contains a record’s merge history. See detailed definitions on the Contacts API Overview page.

Below is an example from my portal, where record 96651 with the email timewizard@hubspot.com was merged into record 96601 with the email babydragon@hubspot.com:

"identity-profiles": [
 {
 "vid": 96601,
 "saved-at-timestamp": 1537984282188,
 "deleted-changed-timestamp": 0,
 "identities": [
 {
 "type": "EMAIL",
 "value": "babydragon@hubspot.com",
 "timestamp": 1537984106012,
 "is-primary": true
 },
 {
 "type": "LEAD_GUID",
 "value": "b7125d6f-f0e9-4ad4-a126-75fb072e40c6",
 "timestamp": 1537984106035
 },
 {
 "type": "EMAIL",
 "value": "timewizard@hubspot.com",
 "timestamp": 1537984127210,
 "is-secondary": true
 }
 ]
 },

 }
 ]

Could you exactly explain what type": “LEAD_GUID”, “value”: “b7125d6f-f0e9-4ad4-a126-75fb072e40c6” is meant? is it lifecycle stage or lead status?

If not, could you let me know if we can get the lifecycle stage or lead status through HubSpot contact API?
