Hide or unhide contacts. Pass contactIds to hide 1..500 existing contacts, or developerId to hide a developer who is not yet a contact (a thin search-sourced contact is auto-created and hidden). Hidden contacts drop out of the default list and out of future search rounds; pass hidden=true on the list to see them. Atomic and idempotent, with no effect on sequences, lists, or history.

Request body SetHiddenRequest

  • contactIds array of string

    Existing contacts to hide or unhide, 1 to 500 at a time. Send this OR `developerId`.

    min 1 items, max 500 items
  • developerId string

    Hide a developer who is not yet one of your contacts. A thin search-sourced contact is created for them and hidden, so the same developer stops appearing in future search results. Send this OR `contactIds`.

    max 200 chars
  • hidden boolean required

    True to hide, false to unhide. Hiding removes them from the default contact list and from future search results; it does not touch sequences, lists, or history.
