    Hi, I've seen this question asked before, but no real resolutions and the threads have closed so... I need to go through an perform a clean-up of out external contacts. According to the API, we have around 4000, but I can only access the first 1000 (using either the API or the UI without a filter) The thing is, I can't filter for all those, say, beginning with an A, then a B and so on since it searches the whole contact, not just the name. So, how do I get an export (preferably) of all of my contacts? Ideas?

    Hello,

    You can use the External Contact Scan endpoints - see Scan Endpoint Overview for moredetails. You can then scan through all your external contacts, external organizations, ...

    There is also a nodejs example with some explanations, showing the use of the Scan endpoint. Code is here.

    Regards,
