Hi,

This tutorial described new API, which will be appear either in 1.10 release or current master branch.

If you want to create a contact record via rest api, firstly please generate user’s api key and wsse header, how to do this described here, go to [app_url]/api/doc/rest_json_api#get–api-contacts, click on “Sandbox”, click on “Try!”, copy first entity json section, remove ‘”id”: “1”,’ and paste json to testing.json. After that you need to set right wsse header to curl.

For example i have created ‘testing’ custom entity with ‘name’ field (in your case rename extendtestings to contacts)

Here is my testing.sh:

Shell

#!/bin/sh curl -i --data @testing.json -H "Content-type:application/vnd.api+json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Authorization: WSSE profile="UsernameToken"' -H 'X-WSSE: UsernameToken Username="admin", PasswordDigest="0z5mEcpG+cC5mT5IEC5FoeP+nlM=", Nonce="NjM0NGY5NGFmZTQ2MzkyNQ==", Created="2016-07-12T11:37:58+00:00"' http://orocrm.local/api/extendtestings

#!/bin/sh   curl -i --data @testing.json -H "Content-type:application/vnd.api+json" -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Authorization: WSSE profile="UsernameToken"' -H 'X-WSSE: UsernameToken Username="admin", PasswordDigest="0z5mEcpG+cC5mT5IEC5FoeP+nlM=", Nonce="NjM0NGY5NGFmZTQ2MzkyNQ==", Created="2016-07-12T11:37:58+00:00"' http://orocrm.local/api/extendtestings

and testing.json:

YAML

{ "data": { "type": "extendtestings", "attributes": { "name": "Test 1" } } }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

{   "data":     {       "type": "extendtestings",       "attributes": {         "name": "Test 1"       }     } }

Please pay attention, you must re-generate wsse header each time when you want call api. In my example i purposely deleted ‘[‘ char from json, though it exists when you press ‘Try!’ button.
