# List account contacts across accounts in this entity

> Returns person contacts for ALL accounts in the API key's entity,
with optional filters by account, external_source, or external_id.
Stripe-style cursor pagination via `starting_after`.

Use this endpoint when you need to look up contacts that were imported
from an external system (Versa Cloud, Bubble, Shopify, etc.) by their
provenance tuple `(account_id, external_source, external_id)`. Powers
migration back-read paths, Customer 360 cross-account contact rollups,
RMA contact pickers, and integration sync resolvers that hydrate by
provenance.

Layer 1 (multi-tenant isolation): the `account_contacts` table has no
`entity_id` column; scope is enforced via JOIN to `accounts.entity_id`.
A crafted cursor pointing at a sister-entity contact returns 0 rows
from the inner cursor SELECT, so no row leak.

Filed by the WSS Versa migration agent as a sister of
`GET /v1/account-addresses` (NEW-GAP-MIGRATION-API-V1-GET-ACCOUNT-CONTACTS,
P1, 2026-05-17). Cross-refs:
`docs/prompts/completed/NEW-GAP-MIGRATION-API-V1-GET-ACCOUNT-CONTACTS [COMPLETE].md`.

Requires `accounts:read` OR `contacts:read` scope.

  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.
