# Get a contact by id

```http
GET https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/contact/{id}
```

- API version: v1
- Operation ID: `v1_public_contact_show`
- Section: Customers › [Contacts](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/contacts.md)
- Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/contacts/v1-contact-show/
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Returns one live contact, of a customer (`customer_id`, `send_invoice`) or of a vendor (`vendor_id`). Use it when you have a contact id, for example from a sales order, but not its owner.

## Permission

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.
- `id` (string, required): The contact's id: a customer or vendor contact. A hash id from an earlier answer; unique keys and document numbers (such as `PO0042`) don't work here. Example `uAu3dAKIaHyAYk`.

## Request body

This operation takes no request body.

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.
