The data you're sending is not the valid JSON. The extra comma in the end is extra.

Is the $restKey in the example valid? I'm getting HTTP Basic: Access denied.

I guess you shouldn't put your private data (keys, codes, passwords) into the questions here.

Nevertheless I've made few changes and this should be working

$url = 'https://www.clinchpad.com/api/v1/contacts';  
 //$appId = 'YOUR_APP_ID';  
 $restKey = 'MY_API_KEY';  
 $headers = array(  
   "Content-Type: application/json",  
   // "X-Parse-Application-Id: " . $appId,  
//  "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: " . $restKey  
 //"-u api-key:". $restKey  
 );  
 $username = 'api-key';
 $password = $restKey;
 $objectData = '{
    "_id": "521f2wwww6eccce8b4310e000076",
    "name": "wwwwwwwwFoo Guy",
    "designation": null,
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "phone": "5553331234",
    "address": null,
    "fields":  [
        {
          "_id": "531ed3a49a21f6e90b00000e",
          "name": "custom contact field",
          "value": "Annual"
        }
    ],
    "organization": {
        "_id": "sdfsdf5455sdfdf545455",
        "name": "Foo Organization",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "phone": "5553336666",
        "website": "http://www.foocorp.com",
        "address": "Foo City"
    }
    }';  
 $rest = curl_init();  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_URL,$url);  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_POST,1);  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$objectData);  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);  
 curl_setopt($rest, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);  
 curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
 $response = curl_exec($rest);  
 echo $response;  
 print_r($response);  
 curl_close($rest);

Main changes besides removing the comma are:

$username = 'api-key';
$password = $apiKey;
curl_setopt($rest, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);
