Add information to custom fields in Apollo. Your custom fields are unique to your team's Apollo account. This means that the examples in this documentation may not work for your testing purposes. To utilize this parameter successfully, call the Get a List of All Custom Fields endpoint and identify the id value for the custom field, as well as the appropriate data type. For example, if a custom field accepts picklist entries, you need to pass the accompanying id value for the picklist entry that you want to use as the input value. Example : When the Get a List of All Custom Fields endpoint returns an id of field: * "60c39ed82bd02f01154c470a" (datetime) then the value passed should be: {"60c39ed82bd02f01154c470a": "2025-08-07"}
Set to true to enable deduplication logic that prevents creating duplicate contacts. When enabled, Apollo will check for existing contacts with matching email addresses, names, or other identifying information and return the existing contact instead of creating a duplicate. The default value is false. When deduplication is enabled, performance may be slightly impacted due to the additional validation checks, but this ensures data integrity and prevents duplicate entries in your database.
Comma-separated response fields to include.
