Node js: sendgrid 'acces forbidden'

I'm using sendgrid (javascript) to add a new contact to my list. Within marketing.

var request = require("request");

  var options = { method: 'PUT',
    url: 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/lists/193029b7-0b8b-4c0c-948d-47d09a157542/recipients',
    headers: { authorization: 'Bearer myapi' },
    body: '{"contacts":[{"email": "[email protected]","unique_name":"hello"}]}' };

  request(options, function (error, response, body) {
    if (error) throw new Error(error);

    console.log(body);
  });

But then I get the message 'acces forbidden'.

Am I using the wrong url? (The API token is set to administrator all access.)

Thanks!

It looks like there's a few things going on here.

According to the docs, there are not endpoints in the Contact API that accept the method PUT.

After checking our own implementation, it also looks like there's an issue with what you're intending to do.

See the docs for adding multiple recipients to a list:

POST https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/lists/{list_id}/recipients HTTP/1.1

Request body:
[
  "recipient_id1",
  "recipient_id2"
]

In order to use that method, you need to first create the users and retrieve their recipient ID's.

POST https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/recipients HTTP/1.1
[
  {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "unique_name":"hello"
  }
]

Check out the links posted for more information on their usage and response.
