Hi,

I have I Mautic system with 10.000+ contacts I need to access via the API. First of all I need a list of all contact which were modified within the last 2 days.

I am using the following code to access the contacts:

```auto
$api = new MauticApi();
$contactApi = $api->newApi('contacts', $auth, [API-URL]);
$response = $contactApi->getList();

```

According to the documentation ([https://developer.mautic.org/?php#list-contacts](https://developer.mautic.org/?php#list-contacts)) it is possible to apply configuration parameters when using the `getList()` method, e.g. a limit, a search filter and so on.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to use the `getList()` parameters and I cannot find any reference code.

Any hint is highly appreciated. 🙂

Best,  
Peter
