Retrieving Contact Name / Job Details etc.

I'm using the API to update Contact Records using PUT on the /contacts endpoint. This part is fine, the issue I'm having is that PUT will wipe out any properties not set in the request, eg. first_name, last_name is wiped out if not added to the request.

 

To get around that - I'm trying to retrieve the Contact record first - using GET on /contacts/<contact_id>. The GET succeeds but only returns the "email_address" section, not the Name, Job, Anniversary etc. fields.

 

An example is below - TLDR - how can I get the Contact Name, Job, Anniversary etc. fields through the API?

 

Thank you.

 

eg:

https://api.cc.email/v3/contacts/bcc75816-6d95-11ef-a4ad-fa163ee2c965

responds with:

{ "contact_id": "bcc75816-6d95-11ef-a4ad-fa163ee2c965", "email_address": { "address": "[email protected]", "permission_to_send": "explicit", "created_at": "2024-09-08T03:52:15Z", "updated_at": "2024-09-08T21:38:21Z", "opt_in_source": "Contact", "opt_in_date": "2024-09-08T03:52:15Z", "confirm_status": "off" }, "update_source": "Account", "create_source": "Contact", "created_at": "2024-09-08T03:52:15Z", "updated_at": "2024-09-08T21:38:21Z" }
