Contacts search API

Hi there,

I'm trying to lookup contacts using the API. Basically I'm trying to programmatically create new contacts, but I'd like to make sure there's no existing contact with the same name or email before that, to ensure there's no duplicates.

I've noticed the API used internally by Dialpad app provides such endpoint, ie. https://dialpad.com/api/contact/?filter=fts&limit=30&search=[your-search-query] but it's not usable with an OAuth token.

The documentation doesn't mention any search endpoint. This discussion mentions that one might be created "in the future"; has this time come yet?

Otherwise, are there recommended workarounds for such use-cases?

Thanks,
