Opt In Source for Add Contact not working with ACTION_BY_VISITOR

[TJH16]

When I attempt to add a contact via the API with an Opt in source of ACTION_BY_VISITOR and an Action-By of ACTION_BY_VISITOR (which the page here - https://constantcontact.mashery.com/io-docs ) lists as an option, I get an error 

[{
    "error_key":"query.param.action_by.does_not_match.opt_in_source",
    "error_message":"action_by and opt_in_source must be consistent when creating a contact."
}]

Using this request -> 

{"status":"ACTIVE","lists":[{"id":"1234"}],"email_addresses":[{"status":"VISITOR","opt_in_date":"2013-09-18T19:16:41.000Z","opt_in_source":"ACTION_BY_VISITOR","email_address":"test@example.com"}]}

and action_by of "ACTION_BY_VISITOR"

if I remove ACTION_BY_VISITOR from the opt_in_source variable it seems to work (Though I'm not sure it's doing what I want it to yet), or if I make both the opt_in_source and the action_by ACTION_BY_OWNER it works.  Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Our API support team will look into this today.  The behavior you're describing certainly sounds like a bug.  Will update when we find out more information.

Hello,

After taking a bit of time to test this, it looks like everything is working normally when the action_by query parameter is used. Here's the details of the API request I used which worked properly:

URI: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?api_key=APIKEY&action_by=ACTION_BY_VISITOR

Header:
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

Body:
{"status":"ACTIVE","lists":[{"id":"1234"}],"email_addresses":[{"status":"VISITOR","opt_in_date":"2013-09-18T19:16:41.000Z","opt_in_source":"ACTION_BY_VISITOR","email_address":"test@example.com"}]}

If you still have a problem after replicating that, please let me know and I'll be happy to help!

Sincerely,

Elijah G.
