How to get people that appear on "Contacted By" page on the data entry sheet of a list?

Hi all, do you know how can I use the API to get the same list of people that appear under "Contacted By" on the data entry sheet?

I'm working on a data entry app and would like to have similar functionality to be able to choose who contacted a person. Thanks!

You can do this using the contact API/index endpoint and passing in the author_id parameter. A request using cURL would like something like this:

curl 'https://{slug}.nationbuilder.com/api/v1/contacts?author_id={id}&access_token={token}'

Oh, and it would be great if this was part of the ‘/api/v1/people/search’ endpoint and returned the usual person records. Thanks.

No worries at all and thanks for your patience in getting an answer to you. So based on your response, I’m assuming you want to submit a request that returns anyone who can log a contact through the control panel in the response body?

Hi guys, thanks for all the help but this isn’t what I was looking for. I was after the list of people that you can select from the dropdown on the data entry view. Here’s a screenshot of the dropdown I mean. http://imgur.com/a/GIBh0

Thanks Craig – I’ve heard that feedback before I just can’t find it at the moment! I’m going to do some digging and either create a new Public Issue for this or link you to the old one! Stay Tuned!

oh unrelated, BTW i didn’t mean to share it on facebook/twitter, but after I accidentally clicked the share button, the only way I could return to this page was to authorize the NB app on the platform. :(
