SOLVED: Cannot create new contact from API "errors":{"address_list":"Must be array with at most one item"

Hi,

I tried creating new contact using the API, this is the code in python:

r = requests.post(url + '/contacts.json', auth=my_auth, data =
	{
		'first_name': 'test',
		'company_name': 'tes company',
		'phones': [{'type': 'work', 'value': '08137829387'}],
		"address_list": [{
			"address": "Jalan gulingan 15",
			"city": "Semarang",
			"country_code": "ID",
			"type": "delivery"
		}],
		'status_id': '5ea7b918ccd15a5259504b34',
		'owner_id': '5ea7b9111090707b2500d950',
		'custom_fields': [
			{
				'custom_field': {'id': '5ea7cf0accd15a525950a7db'},
				'value': '1068',
			},
		]
	}
)

It didn't work, with the following error message:
{"status":400,"message":"Invalid request data","error_name":"invalid_request_data","error_message":"A validation error has occurred","errors":{"address_list":"Must be array with at most one item"}}

Please help and advise, thanks.

Never mind, it was my mistake, instead of 'data', I should have used 'json' as the parameter, the post request should be like this:

r = requests.post(url + '/contacts.json', auth=my_auth, json =
{
	'first_name': 'test',
	'company_name': 'tes company',
	'phones': [{'type': 'work', 'value': '08137829387'}],
	"address_list": [{
		"address": "Jalan gulingan 15",
		"city": "Semarang",
		"country_code": "ID",
		"type": "delivery"
	}],
	'status_id': '5ea7b918ccd15a5259504b34',
	'owner_id': '5ea7b9111090707b2500d950',
	'custom_fields': [
		{
			'custom_field': {'id': '5ea7cf0accd15a525950a7db'},
			'value': '1068',
		},
	]
}

)
