After switching the header order, it still gave me the same error. I was finally able to make a successful request by removing ALL the headers (Authentication, Action-By) and placing the bearer token information in the URL query. I wish that I didn't have to remove the Action-By header so that I could keep track of the contacts that registered themselves online vs. the contacts entered manually. Is there a way that I could stay in the loop if a fix for this is released? Thanks again for all fo your help Shannon. Will M.

Thanks for the quick reply Shannon. I apologize, of course I need to authenticate to add contacts. What I meant to ask is, Do I need to authenticate through Mashery as well? Sorry for the confusion. I have been able to add contacts successfully through the IO Docs interface. I have also been able to add contacts using the Fiddler2 application.

It appears as though the capitalization of property fields were the cause of the bad request errors. However, once that was fixed I have been receiving Forbidden responses from Mashery saying that my API is inactive or invalid. I have been using the API key copied straight from my Mashery login and the Authorization Access Token Bearer obtained from the Mashery IO Docs. When I simulate the add new contact request using Fiddler the POST processes with no issues just using the API key and Bearer token. I shouldnt need to autenticate just to add a contact???

I was able to capture the serialized string that is included in the request. It is taken straight from the debugger so the string is escaped. "{\"Custom_Fields\":[{\"name\":\"CustomField1\",\"value\":\"10/18/1981\"}],\"First_Name\":\"Will\",\"Last_Name\":\"Morrison\",\"Lists\":[{\"Id\":\"2\"}],\"Email_Addresses\":[{\"Opt_In_Source\":\"ACTION_BY_VISITOR\",\"Email_Address\":\"will@gmail.com\"}]}" Let me kow if this helps or is you need more information.

I am receiving a 400 bad request when I attempt to submit a HttpClient.PostAsJsonAsync() from my asp.NET MVC web application. I have the following class definitions public class ConstantContact
{
public ConstantContact()
{
Custom_Fields = new List<CustomField>();
Lists = new List<ContactList>();
Email_Addresses = new List<EmailAddress>();
}
public List<CustomField> Custom_Fields { get; set; }
public string Cell_Phone { get; set; }
public string First_Name { get; set; }
public string Last_Name { get; set; }
public List<ContactList> Lists { get; set; }
public List<EmailAddress> Email_Addresses { get; set; }
}
public class CustomField
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string value { get; set; }
}
public class ContactList
{
public string Id { get; set; }
}
public class EmailAddress
{
public string Opt_In_Source { get; set; }
public string Email_Address { get; set; }
} public class ContactModel { [StringLength(160, ErrorMessage = "{0} is too long.")] [Display(Name = "First Name")] public string FirstName { get; set; } [StringLength(160, ErrorMessage = "{0} is too long.")] [Display(Name = "Last Name")] public string LastName { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "{0} is required.")] [RegularExpression(@"^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$", ErrorMessage = "{0} is invalid")] [Display(Name = "Email")] public string EmailAddress { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage = "{0} is required.")] [RegularExpression(@"^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$", ErrorMessage = "{0} is invalid")] [Display(Name = "Confirm")] [Compare("EmailAddress", ErrorMessage = "Confirm does not match.")] public string ConfirmEmail { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Birth Date")] public string BirthDate { get; set; } public readonly string SuccessMessage = "<h4>Thank you!</h4>You have been added to our mailing list. Please check your inbox for a welcome message."; public readonly string FailureMessage = "<h4>Oops!</h4>Something went wrong with your message. Please try again later."; public readonly string ValidationMessage = "<h4>Oops!</h4>Please fix the errors and try again."; } When the form gets submitted the controller calls to the task layer to build the request as follows var contact = CreateConstantContact(model);
var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer [Access_Token]");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add(HttpRequestHeader.ContentType.ToString(), "application/json");
var response = client.PostAsJsonAsync("https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?api_key=[api_key]", contact).Result;
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
TempData["Feedback"] = model.SuccessMessage;
TempData["UpdateStatus"] = true;
}
else
{
TempData["Feedback"] = "Status: " + response.StatusCode + " - " + response.ReasonPhrase + "<br />" + response.RequestMessage.Content;
TempData["UpdateStatus"] = false;
} private ConstantContact CreateConstantContact(ContactModel model) { var contact = new ConstantContact(); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.BirthDate) == false) { var customs = new CustomField { name = "CustomField1", value = model.BirthDate }; contact.Custom_Fields.Add(customs); } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.FirstName) == false) { contact.First_Name = model.FirstName; } if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.LastName) == false) { contact.Last_Name = model.LastName; } var list = new ContactList { Id = "2" }; contact.Lists.Add(list); var email = new EmailAddress { Email_Address = model.EmailAddress, Opt_In_Source = "ACTION_BY_VISITOR" }; contact.Email_Addresses.Add(email); return contact; } I have tried a plethora of JSON serializers with absolutely no luck. Always receive 400 Bad Request. Is there something that I have not setup properly or am I missing something? Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks, Will
