You can get a list of all contacts in your account by using the GET method on the contacts collection:
https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{username}/contacts
To get a list of contacts for a particular list, you need to utilize
API for listing members of a contact list. Please refer to documentation for listing members.
Each contact is returned in <entry> element, and if there are more than one contact in the account, there will be mutliple <entry> returned. Each <entry>
provides only the basic information about a contact. Each API call
returns 50 contacts at a time. In order to obtain the rest of the
contacts, you need to page through all the remaining pages by
constructing the URI for the next page using the value in <link> element with attribute rel="next".
In order to obtain more details of a contact, you need to use the
GET method on the contact resource itself. To get the URI for the
contact resource for a contact, look for <link> element with attribute rel="edit" in an <entry> for a contact, and conscrutct the URI for the resource, which would look like the following:
https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{username}/contacts/{contact-id}
If
you call the above URI with the GET method, you will get more details
for a particular contact. To learn more about how to get information on
a particular contact, refer to Obtaining a Contact's Information.
