createlead("Bill","Lee","billlee@test2.com","55555555555","Online rest call");
?>

Can any of you advise me why this created 2 entries with the same information when i run this rest call. Anyone can test this just change your parameters. $url, $username, $password and it should work for you.

I have checked your code,it’s working fine, creating only lead per request.

You may some issue with your logic hooks or workflow , which is creating duplicate lead.

Try these steps.

  1. Rename logic_hooks.php from custom/modules/Leads to logic_hooks_old.php

  2. Create a directory named “Disabled” under custom/Extension/modules/Leads/Ext/LogicHook , move all files from this folder to recently created "Disabled’ folder.

go for repair and then put a Api request again, Hope that solves your issue, then you will need further dig out exact issue.

At this point i can only say above code looks fine.
