I'd like to find a more efficient way to look up a specific contact in front when I don't have the contact id or the conversation id. Ideally I could query the contacts by the phone number but I can't find a way to do that without paginating through all the contacts. Am I missing something or is this intentional?
Answer
Query contacts by handle

We have a tool just for this - it's called resource aliases.
For example, if a contact with the phone +1415-555-0000 has contact ID crd_1, both the following API calls will return the same:
GET /contacts/crd_1
GET /contacts/alt:phone:+14155550000
I hope that helps!
