Create Contract API Endpoint Unclear "inputfields" Requirements

Create Contract API Endpoint Unclear "inputfields" Requirements

Hello,

I'm trying to create a Deluge function that accepts inputs from a form in Zoho Creator and creates a barebones contract of a given type. See below for the current code, cleaned of authentication information.
  1. // Fetch form data
  2. // Hidden field
  3. client_name = input.Client_Name;
  4. if(client_name == null || client_name == "")
  5. {
  6. client_name = "Testing Client";
  7. }
  8. // Dropdown field
  9. contract_type = input.Contract_Type;
  10. // Single line field
  11. title = input.Title;
  12. // Multi-line field
  13. description = input.Description;
  14. // Dropdown field
  15. signer_name = input.Signer_Name;
  16. //
  17. // Define the access token and refresh token
  18. accessToken = "ACCESS_TOKEN";
  19. refreshToken = "REFRESH_TOKEN";
  20. //
  21. // Define headers for token refresh request
  22. tokenRefreshHeaders = Map();
  23. tokenRefreshHeaders.put("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  24. tokenRefreshParameters = Map();
  25. tokenRefreshParameters.put("grant_type","refresh_token");
  26. tokenRefreshParameters.put("client_id","CLIENT_ID");
  27. tokenRefreshParameters.put("client_secret","CLIENT_SECRET");
  28. tokenRefreshParameters.put("refresh_token",refreshToken);
  29. //
  30. // Refresh the access token
  31. response = invokeurl
  32. [
  33. url :"https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/token"
  34. type :POST
  35. parameters:tokenRefreshParameters
  36. headers:tokenRefreshHeaders
  37. ];
  38. if(response.get("access_token") != null)
  39. {
  40. accessToken = response.get("access_token");
  41. }

  65. }

I'm getting this error when I submit the form, triggering the deluge function:
  1. Error in creating contract: {"Errors":{"ErrorCode":"ZSEC-JSON_PARSE_ERROR","ErrorMessage":"Sorry, unable to complete your action due to an unknown error. Please try again.","APIErrorMessage":"JSON_PARSE_ERROR"}}

The error message is not very helpful, as it does not specify where it has an issue when parsing the JSON. The API documentation does not specify which fields are required for the Create Contract Endpoint, so I'm either left posting here to request more info, or to just tinker with different combinations of fields included and excluded, so I'm posting here. Can anybody help determine exactly which fields I'm missing, using incorrectly, or other issues with the JSON?
