Contact Properties clarification need it ;) Thanks!

[jpsanchez]

Hi all, 

I´m just in a review of all contact properties and just found that:

Nombre: HS_object_id 

Label : Contact ID 

This is the  HS key for contacts.  it can be view in Hubspot and not change as is managed by Hubspot. 

If i request a contact by the API 

Example GET URL:

https

://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/vid/3234574/profile?hapikey=demo

Answer:

"

sample of the Example response

:
{  
"vid": 3234574,
"canonical-vid": 3234574,  
"merged-vids”: “ 

The name used is " vid" ,

So just for  the record, hs_object_id is equal to vid?   ( why is not the HS_object_id? )

Thanks for the clarification!

Hi, @jpsanchez.

Good question!

In the case of a contact record, yes, the hs_object_id is equal to the vid ("visitor ID," a legacy name for a contact ID).

The hs_object_id field is just a new CRM object property that reflects the ID of the object type. The company property with the same internal name, for instance, reflects a company ID.

Please let me know if I've misunderstood your or can clarify further.
