Sugar API - create contact, quote

Okey I think what I was looking for was covered here - https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_12.0/Cookbook/Web_Services/REST_API/Bash/How_to_Manipulate_Records_CRUD/

Hello Jakub Dreksler, 

That's it. If you want to list all the endpoints available you can navigate to: 

<yoursugarinstanceurl>rest/v11/help

The one that you are looking for is the /<module> POST

Thanks Andre Serrazina

I managed to tweak a bit and got it working but currently, I got a problem with passing an email field for the "Contacts" module, maybe you will be able to help.

Email field there is not a regular text/input, it's some kind of "repeater" field, where I can put more than one email. 

I tried to post a regular string for the "email" field in my request but that apparently does not work (email field is not set with any value)

Are you able to tell me what is the proper way to set this field with a request?

Thanks

Hello Jakub Dreksler, 

Email Address is actually a separate module. 
An easy way to double-check how to format the requests is to peek at how Sugar GUI does it and copy it for your request. 

If you check the network tab in the browser developer console when adding a new Contact you can see how Sugar formats the request.

In this case, would be something like this: 

{  "first_name":"John",
   "last_name":"Doe API2",
   "email":[{"email_address":"apitest6@test.com","primary_address":true,"opt_out":false}]
}

Let me know if this works for you. 

Cheers, 

André

Thanks Andre Serrazina, this is working great! You saved me lots of time.

Thank you as well for the hint about checking the request payload, that should solve all my problems in the future when working with other modules.
