Hi Ben,
You should wrap all those parameters inside a contact key like
{“contact”: {“organisation_name”: “test”} }
Hope this helps,

I am posting the following to https://api.freeagent.com/v2/contacts:
{“organisation_name”: “Test Organisation”}
(the headers are in and working fine, Accept, Content-Type and Auth)
I get the following back:
{“errors”:[{“message”:“first_name can’t be blank”},{“message”:“last_name can’t be blank”},{“message”:“organisation_name can’t be blank”}]}
I don’t understand this.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I am encoding my array using json_encode(), in php, and posting by using
curl, getting the response in json array and decoding it, but not setting
the header application header as application/json
because the library default put the header in the end.On Monday, 30 December 2013 15:33:56 UTC+5:30, Jonathan Barrett wrote:

Looking at the logs here, your request is being escaped as it’s being sent

Thanks Vipul,
Looking at the request in our logs, I’m suspecting that your JSON array is
being converted to a string by the fetch method, and being escaped.
What’s $this in your example? Have you tried specifying $contact_arr as
a PHP array instead?

Hi All,
I am also getting the same error,
either I am sending the array in json format,
{“contact”:{“first_name”:“Vipul”,“last_name”:“Kumar”,“email”:“vipul.kumar@amvrin.com”,“phone_number”:“201301”,“address1”:“dfdcsaFSd”,“town”:“fdsfdsf”,“postcode”:“0”,“country”:“India”}}
or in PHP Format,
[contact] => Array
(
[first_name] => Vipul
[last_name] => Kumar
[email] => vipul.kumar@amvrin.com
[phone_number] => 201301
[address1] => dfdcsaFSd
[town] => fdsfdsf
[postcode] => 0
[country] => India
)
Hi there,
Looking at the logs here, your request is being escaped as it’s being sent

Hi Vipul,
The request is still coming through escaped, I’m afraid, and without being
identified as application/json.
I can’t promise to help you debug your PHP code, but if you post an example
of what you’re using, I (or someone else in the group) might be able to
spot something obvious.
Cheers,

Thanks for reply Jonathan,
Wishing a very Happy new Year to all guys in group.
I had resolved this problem,
Thanks for shown me the server array,
I just try to pass an extra parameter in header
‘Accept’ => ‘application/json’,
‘Content-type’=> ‘application/json’
and It works,
Thanks once again!On Tuesday, 31 December 2013 17:00:19 UTC+5:30, Jonathan Barrett wrote:
Hi Vipul,
It looks to me like the handling of the POST parameters differs depending
on whether $contact_arr is an array or not. Can you show me how you’re
assigning that value before handing it into fetch? I know you keep saying
“it’s JSON”, but I’m not sure if you mean it’s a JSON-formatted string or
if it’s being natively handled by PHP in a JSON object.
Cheers,

So $this is a class you’ve written? What’s the implementation of fetch
on that object, and how are you assigning $contact_arr? Is it just a
string?
