There is an endpoint "Creates personal user contact " for creating new contact:

https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/External-Contacts/createContact

Sample:

                 
  1. POST /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/address-book/contact
  2.  
  3. {
  4.   "firstName": "Charlie",
  5.   "lastName": "Williams",
  6.   "businessPhone": "+15551234567",
  7.   "businessAddress": {
  8.     "street": "20 Davis Dr.",
  9.     "city": "Belmont",
  10.     "state": "CA",
  11.     "zip": 94002
