Get site contact details

GET
/v1/clients/{clientId}/sites/{siteId}/contact-persons/{id}
curl --request GET \
--url https://api2.recruso.co.uk/v1/clients/1/sites/1/contact-persons/1 \
--header 'Authorization: <Authorization>'

Returns one contact person belonging to one of your own agency’s sites, with their department, position and contact details.

Only active contacts are returned. A contact that has been deleted returns 404 here — unlike a site, which stays readable after archiving. Restore it with RestoreSiteContactPerson to read it again.

title is resolved to its name. The site must belong to the client named in the route and the contact to that site; anything else returns 404, so existence is never disclosed.

Access. Requires a client-credentials access token. Tokens issued through the interactive user login are rejected.
