I want to develop application in java where it can add new contact in address book with all it's related details. I need a backend RC api to do that task for me and will be called from my application.

What is the most relevant RC api to do that?

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

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

Sample:

POST /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/address-book/contact
 
{
  "firstName": "Charlie",
  "lastName": "Williams",
  "businessPhone": "+15551234567",
  "businessAddress": {
    "street": "20 Davis Dr.",
    "city": "Belmont",
    "state": "CA",
    "zip": 94002
  }
}
