# Get Contractor Contracts

GET https://api.getthera.com/external/contractor/{email}/contracts

Deprecated. Read this from the Thera API with your API key instead. Returns every contract this contractor holds with your company, including inactive ones, with each contract's status and date range.

Reference: https://docs.getthera.com/api-legacy-read/external-api-deprecated/external-api/retrieve-all-contracts-contractor

## Authentication

- `X-Thera-API-Key` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Servers

- `https://api.getthera.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api.staging.getthera.com` (Staging)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `email` (string, required) — Percent-encode @ as %40. Example: contractor%40example.com.

## Response

### 200

- `userId` (string, required) — The internal user ID of the contractor.
- `contracts` (list of ContractSummary, required) — List of all contracts associated with this contractor.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

The X-Thera-API-Key header is missing, or the key does not exist.

- `message` (string, required)

- `timestamp` (string, required) — Format dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss.
- `type` (string, optional) — Present as GeneralError on 400, 401 and 404. Null on 409.

- `subErrors` (list of any, optional)

### 404 Not Found Error

No contractor with that email has an active API-created contract with your company.

- `message` (string, required)
- `displayMessage` (string, required) — Safe to show an end user. Conflicts return a generic message rather than the specific reason.
- `timestamp` (string, required) — Format dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss.
- `type` (string, optional) — Present as GeneralError on 400, 401 and 404. Null on 409.

- `subErrors` (list of any, optional)

## Types

### ContractSummary

- `contractId` (string, required)
- `startDate` (string, required) — Format yyyy-MM-dd
