Hi Experts,
I am getting the following response while trying to create a new contact using the API.
[{"error_key":"http.header.content_type.invalid","error_message":"Invalid content type. API only supports application/json."}]
I am trying to follow this instruction (https://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/contacts-api/contacts-collection.html?method=POST#example...)
For more information I am sharing my custom codes it is in PHP:
$curl = curl_init(); $post_string = array( "address_type" => "BUSINESS", "city" => "Belleville", "country_code" => "CA", "line1" => "47 Shawmut Ave.", "line2" => "Suite 404", "line3" => "", "postal_code" => "K8b 5W6", "state_code" => "ON", 'addresses' => array( "address_type" => "PERSONAL", "city" => "Cambridge", "country_code" => "US", "line1" => "541 Brighton Ave.", "line2" => "Unit 785", "line3" => "", "postal_code" => "01555", "state_code" => "MA", "sub_postal_code" => "" ), 'lists' => array( "id" => "1" ), "cell_phone" => "555-555-5555", "company_name" => "System Optimzations", "confirmed" => false, "email_addresses" => array( "email_address" => "username1@example.com" ), "fax" => "555-555-5555", "first_name" => "Ronald", "home_phone" => "555-555-5555", "job_title" => "Systems Analyst 3", "last_name" => "Martone", "middle_name" => "Angelo", "prefix_name" => "Mr.", "work_phone" => "555-555-5555" ); $header_content = array( "authorization: Bearer <accessToken>", "cache-control: no-cache" ); $post_string = json_encode($post_string); curl_setopt_array($curl, array( CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?api_key=<api_key>", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST", CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $post_string, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header_content )); $response = curl_exec($curl); $err = curl_error($curl); // var_dump($response); curl_close($curl); if ($err) { echo "cURL Error #:" . $err; } else { echo $response; }
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi @ATMH1,
It looks like your header is not complete. You are missing the content type. Consider adding something like this to your header array.
"Content-Type:application/json"
