There appears to be an existing source called Affiliate (see below).
{
"hidden": true,
"label": "Affiliate",
"value": "Affiliate",
"readOnly": null,
"description": null,
"displayOrder": -1,
"doubleData": null
How do we post via API into this source? Two attempts have both failed using "lead source" and the c_source fields. See posting strings below. No record of either contact is showing up.
All contacts created through the Contacts API are treated as having come from an offline integration, so they all have the Original Source value "Offline Sources."
While it's not possible to programmatically set or change an Original Source, Original source drill-down 1, or Original source drill-down 2 value, you can push "Affiliate" into a different default or custom contact property, as you did successfully (but in the wrong account) with the leadsource property. There's no property with the internal name leadsource in your portal at this time, but you can certainly create one.
Is your developer copied on these messages? Their code was able to create contacts in the Hartford Gold Group before, so all you need is to create a custom property with the internal name leadsource (I hyperlinked the instructions in the last post), an option for "Affiliate," and for the API key to be switched to the one on this page. Your developer should be able to take it from here.

We can see your test leads and successfully submitted one on our side as well. The issue we see now is the lead says it was created from “Offline Sources”. How do we identify these leads with the source “Affiliate”.
Please don't post API keys here. I didn't even realize you did it before. This is a public forum and API keys allow complete access to whatever portal they belong to.
No, it is not possible to have the same API key as the Hartford Gold Group. To get the integration working, you'll have to use the API key which is displayed on this page.
I do see you as a user in portal 4517614, but then how did you get the API key for portal 2611654? The contact "Georgeanna Henseler" was successfully created via the Contacts API in that portal.
You can get the API key for portal 4517614 (Mt Sierra College) on this page (Settings > Integrations > Browse all integrations > Your integrations > API key > Show key).
The API key you were sent and used for the Contacts API belongs to portal 2611654 (Hartford Gold Group).
Yep, because you're using a custom, non-listed integration, you must use the API key I linked to in order to authenticate your requests. You were using the API key of a different portal entirely.
I am still unsure of what needs to be "fixed." As we have covered, the Contacts API call successfully created this contact in HubSpot with the "Affliliate" Lead source value.
The Contacts API is not an automatic two-way sync, so I cannot speak to why a specific record does not exist in your database. You can pull contacts from HubSpot to populate an external database with this endpoint, but that is separate from the method which created the contact above.
The Contacts API did not successfully create the new contact. I can not see it in the Mt. Sierra log-in with the other contacts. Are you showing a record of that lead? We don't need a two way sync. I just need to get a lead posting successfully via the Contacts API and be able to view it in Hubspot.
