I used to create customer property via API but it suddenly stop working. The API I made is:

curl --location --request POST ‘[http://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/companies?hapikey=API\_KEY](http://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/companies?hapikey=API_KEY)’ \

--header ‘Content-Type: application/json’ \

--data-raw '{

“name”: “next\_daily\_deposit\_amount”,

“label”: “Next daily deposit amount”,

“type”: “number”,

“fieldType”: “number”,

“groupName”: “balances\_and\_chargebacks”,

“description”: “”

}’

the response status is 200 but the content is super long which includes all my properties. And the property “next\_daily\_deposit\_amount” is not created. Is there any API issue in the backend?

{

“results”: [

{

… // 10000 lines of json

}

Hey @JZhao

Are you still experiencing issues with this?

I was able to successfully run your request to my portal. I did have to create the group first, though.

@dennisedson , I just tried but still have such issue. I have tried to use a different name and label. And the group already exists.

I even see this issue if I change a group name which doesn’t even exist.

I can’t say I do. That curl looks fine. Could you post a screenshot of the output when you run that curl command by itself?

If it’s returning all of your properties, then it sounds like a random GET request somewhere in your integration.  
Hope that helps.
