Simple POST call -- Not Working

[NicholasW174]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to post a single file of contacts to my user's account (in this case, the test file I am trying only has one contact). However, both the cURL and typing JSON into the Request Body keeps resulting in errors. I've inserted screenshots of both of these results. Does anyone know why this POST call is not working for me for both cURL and/or JSON? Thanks for your time.

It looks like you do not have CURL installed on your system, or if it is, it is not set in your PATH. Here's the link to official CURL download website. You'll find downloads for Windows near the bottom of the page. 

Regarding the 2nd image from the IO Docs, the endpoint that this method/function calls is the standard JSON Contacts Collection endpoint. This endpoint only accepts a JSON payload as described here. 

We do not have the Bulk Activities Import Contacts Multipart endpoint set up in the I/O Docs.

Richard,

Thanks for the guidance. My CURL still doesn't work after further testing. I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks,

Nick

Hello,

I want to start by apologizing for the delay in getting you an answer on this!

Looking at your CURL parameters, it looks like the issue here was the formatting of your authorization header. Right now you have it set up like this:

-H "Authorization" Bearer TOKEN

 However, the proper usage is as shown here:

-H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"

If you can correct this, that should allow the request to work. Please let us know if you continue to have problems!

Sincerely,

[NicholasW174]

Roger. Thanks!
