Problem creating invoices

1

Hi,

Currently having some issues with trying to create invoices. The API
doesn’t seem to be receiving my POST data. I have tried posting json and a
urlencoded string, but no avail.

Using the adoy/oauth2 PHP library.

    $params = array(
        'organisation_name' => $firm->name,
        'phone_number'      => $firm->tel,
    );

    printf('%s' . PHP_EOL,

print_r($this->freeagent->create_contact($params), true));

public function create_contact(Array $params)
{
    return $this->client->fetch($this->base_api_url . '/contacts',

$params, Client::HTTP_METHOD_POST);
}

However the only response I can get back is this. GET requests seem to be
working fine returning json of contacts, etc.

Array
(
[result] => Array
(
[errors] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[message] => first_name can’t be blank
)

                [1] => Array
                    (
                        [message] => last_name can't be blank
                    )

                [2] => Array
                    (
                        [message] => organisation_name can't be blank
                    )

            )

    )

[code] => 422
[content_type] => application/json; charset=utf-8

)

Hi Wade,

There was a similar queryhttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/freeagent_api/-NqbItDXakQa few days ago.

In that case, there were two related issues when using that PHP library:
the first being that resource submissions must be nested, i.e.:

{“contact”: { “organisation_name”: … } };

not just:

{ “organisation_name”: … };

and the second being that older versions of the library had issues when
submitting nested params like this. Have a look at that thread and see if
it helps. If not, let me know and I’ll look into this further for you.

Cheers,

From my freeagent class as used above.

public function create_contact(Array $params)
{
    return $this->client->fetch($this->base_api_url . '/contacts',

$params, Client::HTTP_METHOD_POST);
}
