php - Square API Create Item working code now returning an error -

after creating 1000 inventory items code, square started returning error.

the error returned was:

{"type":"bad_request","message":"'name' required"} 

example code:

$postdata = array(   'id' => 'test_1433281486',   'name' => 'test',   'description' => 'test',   'variations' => array(     'id' => 'test_v1433281486',     'name' => 'regular',     'price_money' => array(       'currency_code' => 'usd',       'amount' => '19800',     ),   ), ); $json = json_encode($postdata);  $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_httpheader, array( 'authorization: bearer ' . $access_token, 'content-type: application/json', 'accept: application/json')); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_url, "https://connect.squareup.com/v1/me/items"); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_returntransfer, true); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_ssl_verifypeer, false); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_ssl_verifyhost, false); curl_setopt($curl, curlinfo_header_out, true); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_verbose, true); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_post, true); curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_postfields, $json); $json = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); 

here json_encoded string:

{   "id":"test_1433281486",   "name":"test",   "description":"test",   "variations": {     "id":"test_v1433281486",     "name":"regular",     "price_money": {       "currency_code":"usd",       "amount":"19800"     }   } } 

i have tried know simple create item code now, no longer works. returns message "name" required. code update images, fees, categories etc still works - can't create.

i still have 100's of new inventory items add, getting work imperative business.

variations needs passed in array. here how json should look:

{   "id":"test_1433281486",   "name":"test",   "description":"test",   "variations": [{     "id":"test_v1433281486",     "name":"regular",     "price_money": {       "currency_code":"usd",       "amount":"19800"     }   }] } 

thanks report! update our error messaging send proper message if variations not passed in array.
