I am trying to add contact in list using php api but its throwing bellow snippet error
string(51) "{"errors":[{"message":"request body is invalid"}]} " {"email":"hello@test.com","first_name":"hh","last_name":"User"}
I am using bellow snippet code:
$url = 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3';
$request = $url.'/contactdb/lists/12345/recipients'; //12345 is list_id
$params = array(
'email' => 'hello@test.com',
'first_name' => 'hh',
'last_name' => 'User'
);
$json_post_fields = json_encode($params);
// Generate curl request
$ch = curl_init();
$headers =
array("Content-Type: application/json",
"Authorization: Bearer SG.XXXXXXXX");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Apply the JSON to our curl call
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_post_fields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
} else {
// Show me the result
var_dump($data);
curl_close($ch);
}
echo $json_post_fields;
Can any one tell me how to resolve this issue.
You should inspect the request that you are sending and compare the JSON in the body to a valid request to really see what's happening. The output of your json_encode here will be an array, but the API expects an object. Your request body needs to be
[{"email":"hello@test.com","first_name":"hh","last_name":"User"}]
And what you are doing right now is sending
{"email":"hello@test.com","first_name":"hh","last_name":"User"}
You can fix this several ways. You could use your favorite string manipulation functions to append the brackets, or you could skip the encoding and send the JSON as a string (since you're specifying the content type).
After looking at sendgrid API and then testing on my own server I was able to add contacts to the contact list. As you already created a list next step is to create recipients to be added to the list. You can do this way
<?php
$url = 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/';
$request = $url.'contactdb/recipients'; //12345 is list_id
$params = array(array(
'email' => 'amitkray@gmail.com',
'first_name' => 'Amit',
'last_name' => 'Kumar'
));
$json_post_fields = json_encode($params);
// Generate curl request
$ch = curl_init();
$headers =
array("Content-Type: application/json",
"Authorization: Bearer SG.000000");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Apply the JSON to our curl call
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_post_fields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
} else {
// Show me the result
curl_close($ch);
}
var_dump($data);
?>
After creating recipients you can now add them to list. You will get an id like this YW1pdGtyYXlAZ21haWwuY29t which is base64 encode of your email id.
<?php
$url = 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/';
$request = $url.'contactdb/lists/12345/recipients/YW1pdGtyYXlAZ21haWwuY29t'; //12345 is list_id
// Generate curl request
$ch = curl_init();
$headers =
array("Content-Type: application/json",
"Authorization: Bearer SG.00000000");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Apply the JSON to our curl call
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
} else {
// Show me the result
curl_close($ch);
}
var_dump($data);
?>
After adding that you can verify if user has been added to list
<?php
$url = 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/';
$request = $url.'contactdb/lists/12345/recipients?page_size=100&page=1'; //12345 is list_id
// Generate curl request
$ch = curl_init();
$headers =
array("Content-Type: application/json",
"Authorization: Bearer SG.000000");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_GET, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Apply the JSON to our curl call
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
print "Error: " . curl_error($ch);
} else {
// Show me the result
curl_close($ch);
}
var_dump($data);
?>
Note: best way is to create a class as most of the codes are being repeated. I will make a wrapper class for sendgrid and post it here soon with ability to do all task that is possible through sendgrid API.
First think is you will need to insert your email to send grid recipients:
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
$email = "example@mail.com";
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/recipients",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "[{\"email\": \".$email.\"}]",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"authorization: Bearer SG.0000000",
"content-type: application/json"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
$a = json_decode($response);
$b = $a->persisted_recipients; //get id of email
$r_id = $b[0]; // store it
}
?>
after that insert it in list by doing this way.
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/lists/123456/recipients/$r_id",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "null",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"authorization: Bearer SG.0000000000",
"content-type: application/json"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
}
