@oguruma , I am also struggling [getting started with Mautic API here](https://forum.mautic.org/t/getting-started-with-mautic-api/20669/12). Have you found out the basics? Do you have a minimal example how to communicate with the API - just get the firstname from a contact by ID or something like that?
