Web Lead Capture via API (legacy)

[rordallas 7]

I am trying to build a web lead capture script using the example code (from the wiki). The Contact is created as advertised except 
for trackingKey. It is never populated. Any guidance would be appreciated.

open-source version 8.5


<?php
require 'APIModel.php';
$attributes = $_POST;
$contact = new APIModel('admin','7uoHGRIBlb0lKym56ieiDf3c7idzCCP7','www.host.domain/path/to/x2');
$fieldMap = array( // This map should be of the format 'your_fieldname'=>'x2_fieldname',
    'first_name'=>'firstName',
    'last_name'=>'lastName',
    'mobile'=>'phone2',
    'information'=>'backgroundInfo',
);
foreach($attributes as $key=>$value){
   if(isset($fieldMap[$key])){
        $contact->{$fieldMap[$key]}=$value; // Found in field map, used mapped attribute
    }else{
        $contact->$key=$value; // No match anywhere, assume it's a Contact attribute
    }
}
if(isset($_POST['x2_key'])){
    $contact->trackingKey=$_POST['x2_key'];
}
$contact->contactCreate(); // Call API to create contact
Header('Location: host.domain/redirect'); // Redirect to homepage

Hi Rordalls,
Can you check your api log to make sure it is hitting it correctly. Also I would check to see what fields are required for your contacts and make sure you have them all filled.

Thanks for the reply.

API Log output:

2023/03/14 16:26:03 [trace] [application.api] Checking user record.
2023/03/14 16:26:03 [trace] [application.api] Checking for valid model class.
2023/03/14 16:26:03 [trace] [application.api] Checking user permissions for API transaction.

Email is the only required field and it is being sent. To reiterate, the contact record is perfect except the trackingKey field is empty.
