Identifying Existing person through the api

[Asith Wijekoon]

Hi

I am using "api.capsulecrm.com/api/v2/parties"  api to add Outlook contact as Person.

How do I know current contact(email address) is already created as person using api?. Gmail extension is managed that. It says Existing contact as below.

is there search query for parties api ? 

Thank you.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. You can use the party search endpoint to see if that contact is already in your Capsule account or not using the `/api/v2/parties/search` API endpoint by passing the the email addresses you want check. 

For more details on using the search end point:

Here is an example using curl:

curl "https://api.capsulecrm.com/api/v2/parties/search?q=support%40capsulecrm.com" \

     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your-api-token>'

Regards,

Phillip
