listMemberInfo Execute Not Always Returning Merge Fields

[Cagg]

Hi All,
I'm having an issue with listMemberInfo.Execute(). Some of the merge
counts are returning 0, it happens on about 5% of any list I pull
down. I am using PerceptiveMCAPI and like the functionality. I have
checked and all of the email addresses that are sent are valid and
listMemberInfoInput is being populated properly. In fact if I run the
same list without the wrapper the merges are populated. I would really
like to use the PerceptiveMCAPI wrapper and not have to write my own.
Does anyone have an idea as to why certain records come back blank?

Code below:

var _listMemberInfo = new listMembersInput(apiKey, listId,
EnumValues.listMembers_status.subscribed, 0, 15000);
var _listMembers = new listMembers(_listMemberInfo);
var _list = _listMembers.Execute();
foreach (var _out in _list.result)
{
var _listMemberInfoInput = new listMemberInfoInput(apiKey,
listId, _out.email);
var _memberInfo = new listMemberInfo(_listMemberInfoInput);
var _listMembersInfo = _memberInfo.Execute();
if (_listMembersInfo.result.merges.Count == 0)
{
var _hitme = "hit";
}
}

Thanks for any help,

Jim

Jim -- per our off-line conversation, I'm just tagging this for the
group.

The problems Jim saw was actually not a problem with the mergevars in
the listMemberInfo method, it was just that the mergevars was what he
was looking for , and they were empty because the call to the api
filed under a single specific scenario which was the result of bad
data from MailChimp in the 'lists' result field.

I'll be creating another post with the specifics for Jesse, or you can
go to

http://perceptivemcapi.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2268

to see the comments there.


Until resolved, if you're using the PerceptiveMCAPI .NET wrapper, use
the serial/JSON option for the listMemberInfo api call.


Thanks,

David
