# GET /contacts/ is deprecated

HighLevel API deprecated GET /contacts without giving a shutdown date yet.

The provider deprecated the GET /contacts endpoint without a shutdown date. Calls made to GET /contacts will fail. HighLevel API documentation notes this endpoint is deprecated and instructs callers to use search instead.

## What to use instead

Search contacts with POST /contacts/search instead.
