Contacts

Use this API to create, update and delete contacts.
If you are just looking to create forms that collect contacts in a secure manner, it is recommended that you use the forms:form control with the contactmode attribute.
Security Warning: With great power comes great responsibility. This API is for experienced developers to query data from the contacts component. Customer data is sensitive, so you must take great care not to introduce a data leak or vulnerability.
Security Warning: You can retreive contact data via functions such as get() and getAll(). This can be displayed on a public website through the use of a repeater or varDump().
Security Warning: This API also allows you to save customer data. Ensure that if updating existing records, any supplied contact_id is validated so only the intended contacts can be overwritten.
