What you should see
A JSON array with one contact. This example is shortened:What the response means
- You authenticated with HTTP Basic — Group ID as username, token as password. See Authentication.
- You requested one contact from a 24-hour window using the contact summary endpoint. See List contact summaries.
- The response is a plain JSON array. The
RecordCountresponse header holds how many contacts match in total, and you page withfromandsize. See Pagination. - A 429 response means you hit the per-token budget — back off using
Retry-After. See Rate limits. - Errors come back as an HTTP status code with a short plain-text body. See Errors.
