is there a limit to the number of contacts I get?

Darryl_Brown

I am getting exactly 1000 contacts back in my request. And, many of my more important contacts are not in the list - people I email frequently. I might be doing something foolish on my end, but I am getting a list of contacts, just not all the ones I am expecting. I really appreciate anyone's insight!

In case it is useful, here is the php function I am using to do the retrieval:

public static function contactsForUser($userIdToken)
{
$result = array();

if (!empty($userIdToken)) {

$request = '/users/' . $userIdToken . '/contacts.json';
$json = SocialLogin::siteRequest($request);
if (!empty($json->error)) {
/// ???
Log::logDebug(' error requesting data: ' . $json->error);
}
else {

//Extract data
$data = $json->response->result->data;

//Check for service
if ($data->identities->count > 0) {
//Log::logDebug('num identities: ' . count($data->identities->entries));
foreach ($data->identities->entries as $identity) {
// extract contacts from this identity...
$contacts = $identity->contacts->entries;
Log::logDebug('num contacts: ' . count($contacts) . ' count ' . $identity->contacts->count);
if (is_array($contacts)) {

foreach ($contacts as $contact) {
$contactDetails = array();
if (count($contact->emails) > 0) {
$e = $contact->emails[0];
$contactDetails['email'] = (string)$e->value;
if (!empty($contact->name)) {
$contactDetails['name'] = (string)$contact->name->formatted;
//Log::logDebug('contact name ' . $contactDetails['name']);
}
//Log::logDebug('contact email ' . $contactDetails['email']);
$result[] = new Contact($contactDetails);
}
}

}

}
Log::logDebug('found ' . count($result) . ' contacts ');
}
}
}
return $result;
}

Hi,
Our API currently limits the max-number of contacts to 1000.

Do you know roughly how many contacts you have?

Regards.

Fred_Pinel

thanks.
(it was no heroic task really :-)
And, sorry for not informing you earlier.

I have 2120 contacts. Is there a way to get around this limitation, or a way to get the most frequently used contacts?

thanks!!

Darryl_Brown

Any update on this? Unfortunately, limiting contacts to 1000 makes this pretty unusable for me.

Unless there was a way to sort those contacts by most used (frequently contacted contacts first).

Hi,
This should be fixed now. Are you still limited to the 1000 contacts?
Regards.

You are my hero! Thanks for fixing this - working great now.
