When creating a customer via the API, my API request fields are not corresponding with the fields being returned by the API.
For example,
I set 'name' to "ABC123" on my wn.inesert call, I get a response with a field called 'localname' that contains my "ABC123" value.
The same happens with customer_name, this gets returned as a filed called 'name'.
Then in the web app interface, there is also 'Full Name' and 'ID'.
This is very confusing. :(

For Contact, as far as I can see, it is not possible to set the name filed for Contact via the API, it is always generated from Firstname, Lastname and Customer Name. This has a side affect of not being able to but single quotes in names, for example O'Brien.
Am I misunderstanding how the name field for Contact can be set via the API?

Leave name as blank and set "customer_name" property while inserting via API.
Sorry not very intuitive - we should allow if explicit name is set.

You are right about Contact - the name is generated from First Name, Last Name.
We have fixed the string replacement in most places, maybe we can allow quotes in name now, but someone will have to test it first!
best, Rushabh
