I want to insert data in zoho crm using api v2. first make an array then i encoded json .Request url https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/Contacts. But i got this error.
Code:
$authtoken = ***********;
$fields={"data":["{\"Last_Name\":\"Test John insert\",\"Email\":\"testjhon@jhon.com\"}"]};
$zoho_url = "https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/Contacts";
Error:
{"data":[{"code":"INVALID_DATA","details":{"expected_data_type":"jsonobject","index":0},"message":"invalid data","status":"error"}]}
Use this json array:
$fields = "{\"data\":[{\"Last_Name\": \"Test\",\"First_Name\": \"TESTING\",\"Email\": \"demo@w3scloud.com\"}],\"trigger\":[\"approval\",\"workflow\"]}";
I've noticed that Zoho seems to want an extra pair of brackets around the data. And you might try encoding the data array to a JSON-string before sending it to cURL.
$fields = json_encode([
["data" => ["Last_Name" => "Test John insert","Email" => "testjhon@jhon.com"]],
]);
As @Ghost mentioned, you may also need to change the content-type. According to the PHP docs, passing an array to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
will set the content-type to multipart/form-data
; what you probably want is application/json
.
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"Authorization: ".$authtoken,
"Content-Type: application/json"
),
send this way :
[{ "data": \[ { "Company":"company name", "Last_Name":"your last name", "Phone":"123456789", "First_Name": "your first name", "Email":"first@gmail.com" } \], “triggger”:\[“workflow”,”approval”,”blueprint”\] }]

hope this will help you.
You must send the json file to zoho api, and all be works.:
$fields=["data"=> ['Last_Name'=>'Test John insert','Email'=>'testjhon@jhon.com']];
$fields = json_encode($fields);
Working example:
$fields = json_encode(array(
"data" => array([
"Company" => "abc",
"Last_Name" => "Tom",
"City" => "Egham"
],
[
"Company" => "abc",
"Last_Name" => "Jerry",
"City" => "Egham"
])
)
);
send headers this way :
$headers = array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($fields),
sprintf('Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken %s', $oauth)
);
