Trying to create a simple contact

HI,

I'm using this JSON body to create a contact:

{ "partial": 1, "first_name":"Happy","last_name":"User", "emails": [{"type": "home","value": "some@mail.com"}]}

But I get the message:

{ 
"readyState":4,
"responseText":"{"status":400,"message":"Invalid request data","error_name":"invalid_request_data","error_message":"A validation error has occurred","errors":{"last_name":"Lastname or organization name must be provided","company_name":"Lastname or organization name must be provided"}}",
"responseJSON": 
	{ 	"status":400,
		"message": "Invalid request data",
		"error_name":"invalid_request_data",
		"error_message":"A validation error has occurred",
		"errors":{	"last_name":
					"Lastname or organization name must be provided",
					"company_name":"Lastname or organization name must be provided"}

	},"status":400,"statusText":"Bad Request"}

My contact does have a Last Name. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Gonçalo,

I have just try to create contact using Postman tool and your data:

var contact = { "partial": 1, "first_name":"Happy","last_name":"User", "emails": [{"type": "home","value": "some@mail.com"}]}

And it is created without any problem:

{
    "status": 0,
    "message": "Created",
    "timestamp": 1510312662,
    "data": {
        "contact": {
            "id": "5a058ad63e5a147f4a2a8b82",
            "first_name": "Happy",
            "last_name": "User",
...

I suppose issue lays somewhere in code which sends requests to API. Could you provide code sample?

Kind regards,
Mikhail
