Api Client Create Issue

[KingPin]

I am creating multiple clients for 3 total companies under 1 blesta license with addon companies.
I import from csv via curl calls and everything worked great for company #1. client ids went from 1500 - 1545.
When I create a client for a 2nd company I dont get a full response back with all the client data of the newly created client. its like its adding contacts instead of clients. I get a simple :

{"response":false}

 

And all the clients are created with ID 1546. If I create a client via the gui it gets ID 1547 and is created fine. has anyone noticed anything similar to this before?

 

 thank you.

Clients::create is one of those methods that does not accept a company_id parameter, and instead uses the configured company ID from the system. You probably received a false response because of an error validating the data (e.g. the username or email address was already taken).

 

If you wanted to work with a separate company over the API, you would need to use a different API user by configuring API Access for that user under the other company.

How are you creating the clients? What methods are you calling?

 

A lot of methods use the configured company ID in the system if one is required when it does not accept one as a parameter.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am currently quickly putting this together in bash and the following curl code works on company 1 but not company 2 : 

company1

curl -v http://site.com/api/clients/create.json -u user:key \
-d 'vars[client_group_id]=1' \

Thank you Tyson, I didnt realize the api users were company specific. but that resolved the issue.
