How to create a new contact in hubspot via RESTAPI

[boopathi_s]

Hi I am new to hub spot, I wish to create a new contact through rest api.
My piece of code is:

<cfhttp url="https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact/?hapikey=demo" method="post" result="httpResp" timeout="60">
<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="application/json" />
<cfhttpparam type="body" value="#serializeJSON(stFields)#">

<cfdump var="#httpResp#" label="HTTP response">

If I dump the value it shows “Json node is missing child properties” what might be the error.How to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

@boopathi_s I would try removing the outside {} it looks like you almost have duplicate open braces and closing braces. try to follow this from the dev documentation. (http://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/create_contact)

{
        "properties": [
            {
                "property": "email",
                "value": "testingapis@hubspot.com"
            },
            {
                "property": "firstname",
                "value": "Adrian"
            },
    ]
}

Let me know if that helps at all.

@boopathi_s I am unfamiliar with CFML but I found some documentation here.

http://www.learncfinaweek.com/week1/JSON/

Do you need to wrap the JSON in ‘’ before you serialize it?
Hopefully you can follow the documentation above for creating a CFML struct and then serializing it to JSON. If this doesn’t help please let me know so I can continue to look into it.

@pmanca Your data is already serialized. so don’t need to serialize it.that’s why i remove the line.Give some alternative approach if you have any.thanks for reply bro
