Error Message Bulk Add Contacts: "error_key":"query.param.invalid"

[ArthurF78]

Trying to utilize the Add Contacts - Bulk Activities API and am getting an error message which I am unable to figure out what it means - hoping someone might know.

Status Code Returned: 400 Bad Request

{"error_key":"query.param.invalid","error_message":"The query parameter is not supported."}

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for posting!  It's difficult to troubleshoot a request body with looking at it, so here are a couple of suggestions:

1.  Make sure the JSON is valid.  Drop the payload into a validator like the one at http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ and make sure there isn't and extra comma or quote somewhere.

2.  The property names have to exactly match what is in the structure page.  That is here:

Hope these help.  If you still encounter problems, you can send an email to webservices@constantcontact.com with the details of what you're trying to do and we'll help as soon as we can.

Regards,
