Hi [@Alexandre\_Leduc](https://community.hubspot.com/u/alexandre_leduc),

Are you including the `content-type` header? I wonder if you’re erroneously getting a `200` response due to this behavior:

> Yes, the only difference between a working request and a failing request was the content-type header. Requests to Contacts API work fine also without the content-type header. For example the following works fine: r1 = requests.post(‘[https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/?hapikey=](https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/?hapikey=)’ + apiKey, data=json.dumps(contact)) Bests
