How can I export contact data via API?

[gtorba]

Could you please let me know how to export contact data from the Emarsys customer engagement platform using API? I need email address, first name, last name, phone numbers for all the contacts.

Currently, I am able to access this using the API below. But these contacts are only specific to a contact list. I need to export all contacts irrespective of contact lists. I checked in big query, but couldn't find it.

There is a fairly easy, if not quite elegant, solution:

Create an all-inclusive segment (e.g. 'Firstname is Empty' OR 'Firstname is not empty') that always returns all contacts, and then use the API to export the segment rather than a contact list.

Hope that helps!
