API ReferenceTopics

Get a contact's topic preferences

GET
/api/v1/contacts/{id}/topics

Everything this contact has said they want, as the send path reads it.

subscribed on each topic is the EFFECTIVE answer: a contact who has never answered has no row at all, and the topic's default_opt_in decides what that silence means. It is folded in here so no caller has to reimplement the rule.

The top-level subscribed is the global marketing opt-out, and it OUTRANKS every topic. A caller reading only the topic list would conclude somebody is reachable when they are not.

Requires the topics:read scope — View the topics you mail about and who is subscribed to each.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

API key authentication. Use a sk_* (FULL) or pk_* (SENDING_ONLY) key as the bearer token. Public keys (pk_*) are restricted to the email-send endpoints and the self-serve list subscribe/unsubscribe pair; every other endpoint — event tracking included — answers 403 for them. In scope terms (used by /api/v1/* operations): FULL keys hold every scope; SENDING_ONLY keys hold only emails:send.
