Set new Lead RecordTypeId from API

When creating a new Lead via an API call, I need to set the RecordType.  To do that, it seems as if I need the RecordTypeId.  But for testing, that ID is going to be different in Sandbox vs. Production.  So I don't want to hardcode the RecordTypeId.

When creating a new Lead via API, is there a way to specify the Record Type using its name instead of its ID?  Or at least have the API look up the RecordTypeId based on its name?

    Ok, checking the forums, the answers are mixed.

    Found this one that seems to think setting a record type on create for a Lead is not possible.

    Or we have an example for Oppty using JSON which seems to use the Record Type name.

    Other option, thinking outside the box, could you use that previous code in an before insert trigger and test the lead creation source as the API, or tag a check box/picklist in the lead saying "API created", and fire the trigger on the before insert and the checkbox/picklist?

    Hope one of those ideas helps.

    Regards

    Andrew
