Retrieve a single contact and all of its field values. The {id} path segment accepts either the contact's id or its email address, so you can look a contact up without storing our id. Change it with Update a contact, or see which subscription topics it's opted into with List a contact's topic subscriptions. Requires the contacts:read capability.
