Get a contact's details

There are 2 ways to get a contact

Option 1- https://api.brevo.com/v3/contacts/{identifier}

Option 2- https://api.brevo.com/v3/contacts/{identifier}?identifierType={}

Option 1 only works if identifierType is email_id (for EMAIL), phone_id (for SMS) or contact_id (for ID of the contact),where you can directly pass the value of EMAIL, SMS and ID of the contact.

Option 2 works for all identifierType, use email_id for EMAIL attribute, phone_id for SMS attribute, contact_id for ID of the contact, ext_id for EXT_ID attribute, whatsapp_id for WHATSAPP attribute, landline_number_id for LANDLINE_NUMBER attribute

Along with the contact details, this endpoint will show the statistics of contact for the recent 90 days by default. To fetch the earlier statistics, please use Get contact campaign stats https://developers.brevo.com/reference/contacts-7#getcontactstats endpoint with the appropriate date ranges.
