# Contact List Metadata

Before creating a contact in BlockSurvey, you must locate the **Team ID**, **List ID**, **List Public Key**, and **List Private Key**. These identifiers are essential for managing contacts via BlockSurvey’s APIs.

Steps to locate the metadata:

1. Log in to **BlockSurvey** and navigate to your **Teamspace**.<br>
2. Go to the **Audience** menu.<br>
3. Click **Create Audience List**, enter a name, and click **Create**.<br>
4. Once the list is created, click **Create Contact** to manually add contacts.<br>
5. Click on **Dev Console** to open a popup displaying the metadata needed to manage your contacts via the API.

Metadata Information:

* **Team ID** – A Unique identifier for your team.<br>
* **List ID** – Identifier for the selected contact list.<br>
* **List Public Key** – Used for encrypting data when adding contacts.<br>
* **List Private Key** – Used for decrypting data when required.

Once you have these details, you can proceed with the API integration to manage your contacts efficiently.<br>
