I am currently working on adding a ContatctItemField to a Podio Item, however I need to know the user profile Id, at the moment I only have the Name and Email of the user, is there an easy way to find the user profile by Email. 

By the way I am using the .Net Api

  You can use https://developers.podio.com/doc/contacts/get-contacts-22400 and filter on "mail"

  All the best,

  You need to set a query param with an email address: mail=yourmail@example.com

  As for the unauthorized response: You need to authenticate before you can make API calls. More details here: https://developers.podio.com/authentication

  I am authenticated. When I call to get all Contacts with no attributes I get the first 500 users. Please Help

  string requestUrl = Podio.API.Constants.PODIOAPI_BASEURL + @"/contact/";

  However when I try to add attributes such as the email I get the unauthorized response.

  string requestUrl = Podio.API.Constants.PODIOAPI_BASEURL + @"/contact/?mail=email@sample.com";

  I figured it out,  I had to put the requestData in the request and not in the request Url.  Thanks for your help

   Dictionary<string, string> requestData = new Dictionary<string,string>();
              requestData.Add("mail", email);

              string requestUrl = Podio.API.Constants.PODIOAPI_BASEURL + @"/contact/";

              // request the api
              Podio.API.Utils.PodioRestHelper.PodioResponse response = Podio.API.Utils.PodioRestHelper.Request(requestUrl, client.AuthInfo.AccessToken, requestData, Podio.API.Utils.PodioRestHelper.RequestMethod.GET);

  You need URL encode the email value. :)
