Problem creating a contact via API

Hi!

I’m playing with OroCrm. I am currently trying to create a new contact with the name and email. Unfortunately I was unable to create the correct request.

This is the body of the request

Request URL

POST /api/contacts

1	POST /api/contacts

Request body

PHP

{ "data":{ "type":"contacts", "attributes":{ "firstName":"Elvis", "lastName":"Cocho" }, "relationships":{ "owner":{ "data":{ "type":"users", "id":"1" } }, "organization":{ "data":{ "type":"organizations", "id":"1" } }, "emails":{ "data":[ { "type":"contactemails", "id":"115459" } ] } } }, "included":[ { "type":"contactemails", "id":"115459", "attributes":{ "email":"someuser@server.com" } } ] }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40

{    "data":{       "type":"contacts",       "attributes":{          "firstName":"Elvis",          "lastName":"Cocho"       },       "relationships":{          "owner":{             "data":{                "type":"users",                "id":"1"             }          },          "organization":{             "data":{                "type":"organizations",                "id":"1"             }          },          "emails":{             "data":[                {                   "type":"contactemails",                   "id":"115459"                }             ]          }       }    },    "included":[       {          "type":"contactemails",          "id":"115459",          "attributes":{             "email":"someuser@server.com"          }       }    ] }

Error :(

PHP

{ "errors": [ { "status": "400", "title": "form constraint", "detail": "This value is not valid.", "source": { "pointer": "/data/relationships/emails/data" } } ] }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

{   "errors": [     {       "status": "400",       "title": "form constraint",       "detail": "This value is not valid.",       "source": {         "pointer": "/data/relationships/emails/data"       }     }   ] }

I tried many things but I can’t find the solution

Hi Leandro,

Unfortunately “included” section in POST requests is supported only since version 2.0. In previous version you have to use 2 POST requests, one to create a contact email, and another to create a contact.

Since version 2.0 you can do the same via one POST request using “included” section. But take into account that contact emails are not a relationship. It is an attribute. So, the POST request for v. 2.0 will be:

JavaScript

{ "data":{ "type":"contacts", "attributes":{ "firstName":"Elvis", "lastName":"Cocho", "primaryEmail": "someuser@server.com", "emails": [ { "email": "someuser@server.com" } ] }, "relationships":{ "owner":{ "data":{ "type":"users", "id":"1" } }, "organization":{ "data":{ "type":"organizations", "id":"1" } } } } }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29

{    "data":{       "type":"contacts",       "attributes":{          "firstName":"Elvis",          "lastName":"Cocho",          "primaryEmail": "someuser@server.com",          "emails": [             {               "email": "someuser@server.com"             }           ]       },       "relationships":{          "owner":{             "data":{                "type":"users",                "id":"1"             }          },          "organization":{             "data":{                "type":"organizations",                "id":"1"             }          }       }    } }

It works. Thanks for the advice!

I created the entities using two requests.
