Creating new contact with address via API

[ayduns]

I'm trying to create a new individual with an address via the php API.

The API explorer for Contact Create shows address fields, but my attempts to specify address fields seem to be ignored although the contact is created. Is it possible to create the address directly?  (If not, why do these show as available fields in the API?)

Try doing a second API call, to Address Create, passing the contact ID of your newly created contact as the contact_id parameter.

you can chain the api calls, put an extra params['api_address_create'] = array (street and stuff)

it takes care of assiging the contact_id directly

Thanks - chaining solved my problem.
