GetContact

CallFire has a new API!

We are proud to announce the launch of our API 2.0! Learn more about our streamlined, transactional and broadcast APIs. This version of the API documentation will remain available for reference only. There will be no new development, only bug fixes. We highly recommend upgrading to our newer and more sophisticated documentation.

GetContact

Gets the contact by ID

Return individual contact by ID. See QueryContacts to return a list of contacts and determine individual contactIds.

Note: GetContact returns all contact fields however when using PHP SoapClient only the predifined fields (lastName, mobileNumber, firstName, homePhone, workPhone, and zipcode) will show in $response. This is problem with SoapClient, not the underlying Soap message. Use our PHP REST API or another PHP SOAP client to work around the problem.

Example Code

	<?php
/**
 * You'll need your login/password pair when you create the SOAP client.
 * Don't use the fake login/password provided here; it's just for show and won't work.
 */
$wsdl = "http://callfire.com/api/1.1/wsdl/callfire-service-http-soap12.wsdl";
$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, array(
    'soap_version' => SOAP_1_2,
    'login'        => 'YourLoginId',    
    'password'     => 'YourPassword'));


/**
 * GetContact. Get contact by id. Return standard predefined fields.
 */
$request = new stdClass();
$request->Id = 3; // long required  

$response = $client->GetContact($request);
print_r($response);
