Create or Update Contacts in Bulk

API Q&A

I am looking for a way to import contacts in bulk through the API. It’s a lot of contacts; so, throttling and sending each individual contact one at a time is not an option.

Per the documentation, and from tinkering with the POST/PUT request to /contacts, it’s currently not possible to do this. So, I was wondering if it’s possible through some other method, or if you plan on integrating this kind of feature in the near future?

@Jacky_Wong,

You can preform a mass import of contacts in a csv file from within the interface using Admin->Import Data

Is there not a way specifically through an API?

No, one by one is all there is. There are a few actions you can take on multiple contacts at once but creating contacts is one at a time.
