# Suggest people

`GET https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/me/contacts`

Up to 50 people you can share with: people you shared documents with before, and members of your workspaces. Never a search of every account.

- **Authentication:** API token required: `Authorization: Bearer mdk_…`.
- **Rate limit:** 60 per minute per IP address.

## Query parameters

- `q` (string): Only people whose email or name contains this text. Up to 200 characters.

## Responses

- `200`: OK.
  - `contacts` (array of object)
    - `email` (string)
    - `name` (string | null)
    - `source` ("shared" | "workspace")
- `401`: No token, or the token is revoked or mistyped.
- `422`: The request didn't validate. `detail` lists each problem, with where it is (`loc`) and why (`msg`).
- `429`: Too many requests from your IP address. Wait the seconds in `Retry-After`.
