Search
Use the CRM search endpoints to filter, sort, and search objects, records, and engagements across your CRM. For example, use the endpoints to get a list of contacts in your account, or a list of all open deals.
To use these endpoints from an app, a CRM scope is required. Refer to this list of available scopes to learn which granular CRM scopes can be used to accomplish your goal.
To search your CRM, make a POST
request to the object's search endpoint. CRM search endpoints are constructed using the following format: /crm/v3/objects/{object}/search
. In the request body, you'll include filters to narrow your search by CRM property values.
For example, the code snippet below would retrieve a list of all contacts that have a specific company email address.
Each object that you search will include a set of default properties that gets returned. For example, a contacts search will return createdate
, email
, firstname
, hs_object_id
, lastmodifieddate
, and lastname
. To return a specific set of properties, include a properties
array in the request body.
Please note: including a properties
array will override the default returned properties, so you’ll need to specify those in the array if you want to return them.
The tables below contain the object search endpoints, the objects they refer to, and the properties that are returned by default.

Search all default text properties in records of the specified object to find all records that have a value containing the specified string. By default, the results will be returned in order of object creation (oldest first), but you can override this with sorting.
For example, the request below searches for all contacts with a default text property value containing the letter X
.
Below are the properties that are searched by default through the above method:
Search endpoint | Object | Default searchable properties |
---|---|---|
/crm/v3/objects/calls/search
| Calls |
|
/crm/v3/objects/companies/search
| Companies |
|
/crm/v3/objects/contacts/search
| Contacts |
|
/crm/v3/objects/{objectType}/search
| Custom objects | Up to 20 selected properties. |
/crm/v3/objects/deals/search
| Deals |
|
/crm/v3/objects/emails/search
| Emails |
|
/crm/v3/objects/feedback_submissions/search
| Feedback submissions |
|
/crm/v3/objects/meetings/search

/crm/v3/objects/notes/search

/crm/v3/objects/products/search

/crm/v3/objects/quotes/search
| Quotes |

/crm/v3/objects/tasks/search

|
/crm/v3/objects/tickets/search

Use filters in the request body to limit the results to only records with matching property values. For example, the request below searches for all contacts with a first name of Alice.
hs_body_preview_html
is not supported. For emails, the properties hs_email_html
and hs_body_preview
are also not supported.
To include multiple filter criteria, you can group filters
within filterGroups
:
- To apply AND logic, include a comma-separated list of conditions within one set of
filters
. - To apply OR logic, include multiple
filters
within afilterGroup
.
You can include a maximum of five filterGroups
with up to 6 filters
in each group, with a maximum of 18 filters in total. If you've included too many groups or filters, you'll receive a VALIDATION_ERROR
error response.
For example, the request below searches for contacts with the first name Alice
AND a last name other than Smith
, OR contacts that don't have a value for the property email
.
You can use operators in filters to specify which records should be returned. Values in filters are case-insensitive, with the following two exceptions:
- When filtering for an enumeration property, search is case-sensitive for all filter operators.
- When filtering for a string property using
IN
andNOT_IN
operators, the searched values must be lowercase.
Below are the available filter operators:
Operator | Description |
---|---|
LT
| Less than the specified value. |
LTE
| Less than or equal to the specified value. |
GT
| Greater than the specified value. |
GTE
| Greater than or equal to the specified value. |
EQ
| Equal to the specified value. |
NEQ
| Not equal to the specified value. |
BETWEEN
| Within the specified range. In your request, use key-value pairs to set Refer to the example below. |
IN
| Included within the specified list. Searches by exact match. In your request, include the list values in a Refer to the example below. |
NOT_IN
| Not included within the specified list. In your request, include the list values in a |
HAS_PROPERTY
| Has a value for the specified property. |
NOT_HAS_PROPERTY
| Doesn't have a value for the specified property. |
CONTAINS_TOKEN
| Contains a token. In your request, you can use wildcards (*) to complete a partial search. For example, use the value |
NOT_CONTAINS_TOKEN
| Doesn't contain a token. |
For another example, you can use the IN
operator to search for companies that have specified values selected in a dropdown property.
Search for records that are associated with other specific records by using the pseudo-property associations.{objectType}
.
For example, the request below searches for all tickets associated with a contact that has the contact ID of 123
:
Please note: the option to search through custom object associations is not currently supported via search endpoints. To find custom object associations, you can use the associations API.
Use a sorting rule in the request body to list results in ascending or descending order. Only one sorting rule can be applied to any search.
For example, the request below sorts returned contacts with most recently created first:
Paging through results
By default, the search endpoints will return pages of 10 records at a time. This can be changed by setting the limit
parameter in the request body. The maximum number of supported objects per page is 200.
For example, the request below would return pages containing 20 results each.
To access the next page of results, you must pass an after
parameter provided in the paging.next.after
property of the previous response. If the paging.next.after
property isn’t provided, there are no additional results to display. You must format the value in the after
parameter as an integer.
For example, the request below would return the next page of results:
- It may take a few moments for newly created or updated CRM objects to appear in search results.
- Archived CRM objects won’t appear in any search results.
- The search endpoints are rate limited to five requests per second.
- The maximum number of supported objects per page is 200.
- A query can contain a maximum of 3,000 characters. If the body of your request exceeds 3,000 characters, a 400 error will be returned.
- The search endpoints are limited to 10,000 total results for any given query. Attempting to page beyond 10,000 will result in a 400 error.
- When filtering, you can include a maximum of five
filterGroups
with up to 10filters
in each group, with a maximum of 25 filters in total. - When searching for phone numbers, HubSpot uses special calculated properties to standardize the format. These properties all start with
hs_searchable_calculated_*
. As a part of this standardization, HubSpot only uses the area code and local number. You should refrain from including the country code in your search or filter criteria.
