proper API call GET /v2.1/Contacts?ids={ids}&email={email}&tag={tag}

I want to write an API to retrieve contact info based on an email.

 

The solution seems well documented at https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Help/Api/GET-Contacts_ids_email_tag

Says to use

GET /v2.1/Contacts?ids={ids}&email={email}&tag={tag}

But I can't get it to work. I tried

https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Contacts?email={'Ed@abc.com'}

https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Contacts?email={Ed@abc.com}

https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Contacts?&email={'Ed@abc.com'}

https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Contacts?&email={Ed@abc.com}

https://api.insight.ly/v2.1/Contacts?ids={}&email={Ed@abc.com}

... and other variations

 

What is the correct formatting for getting contact info based on an EmailId?

    Hi Charles,

    Try removing the curly brackets and quotes in your query. If that doesn't work, you may also need to url encode non-alphanumeric characters in the email address, but otherwise what you are doing should work fine.

    Thanks,
