pulling email list

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

hello,

I have been trying to figure out the best why to pull all the fields in my email list so that i can store it on my companies DB.

what i have been able to get so far is just the email address, and the status if they are subscribe or not, when using one of the API (mailChimp.net).

 I can't seem to figure out how to get the rest of the fields, and the documentation for both his API, and the others on your site haven't been very helpful. 

So i was wondering, what do i need to uses to accomplish this?

[MailChimp Support]

Hey, Keyinora. That's as easy as calling lists/members: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/members.php With just an API key and your list ID, it will return every email address and their individual field values.

Ah, awesome thanks Anna, i also was wondering with that method can i specify what fields are returned? say i don't want timestamp, or address to be returned. Can that be done with that method

You won't be able to limit what's returned, but of course you can limit which returned parameters you choose to use further.

http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/batch-subscribe.php

for the batch-subscribe method, having some trouble getting the struct down

https://us7.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/lists/batch-subscribe.xml?apikey=*********&id=********&batch[email][email=Barry...@americanlandlease.com]&batch[merge_vars]fname=barry

can you point out what i did wrong in my query string, and provide me with the correct format to sub an email,and pass the first, and last name

Using a url is a bit more complex. The arrays just need some adjusting:
https://us7.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/lists/batch-subscribe.xml?apikey=*********&id=********&batch[0][email]=Ba...@email.com&batch[0]merge_vars][fname]=barry
If you needed to add a second person to your call:
https://us7.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/lists/batch-subscribe.xml?apikey=*********&id=********&batch[0][email]=Ba...@email.com&batch[0]merge_vars][fname]=barry&batch[1][email]=Ma...@email.com&batch[1]merge_vars][fname]=Mary

Hope that helps!

getting -99 error An email address must contain a single @

the email am putting in does have a @, not sure why it won't go through

Missed an extra [email] in the array. There's an email array within the email parameter. Sorry about that:

I was also wondering, not sure if i asked this already, but. currently we create a csv file, and upload it, and click the auto-update existing list, so we don't lose them when we import. does setting update_existing for the batch-subscribe method accomplish the same thing?

To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to mailchimp-api-di...@googlegroups.com.

[MailChimp Support]

Yep! You're exactly right. The update_exisiting boolean when set to "true" would update all subscribers with the data contained in the API call, even if the subscribers are already on the list(just like the auto update checkbox in the web app).

-Brian

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

awesome, I also noticed that the method also has a Double_option boolean value, and that if i set it false that people won't get an email about it. question is. for anyone that is already on my list, will they get this email again, or does it just skip them, as long as i have update_existing set to true? the worry i have is that we will be doing this alot, and i can see how people would get rather annoyed by getting optin emails over and over agin.

[MailChimp Support]

If they are already on your list, and an API call is run with the double_optin boolean is set the to true, it would not send out another confirmation email to that subscriber.

-Brian

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

what would be the best course of action to test out my code? create a test list? is there any downside to this?

I want to try my batch-sub code out

Yep! Exactly! Just create a test list in your MailChimp account to test those calls out on. No harm at all in doing that. Let us know if we can provide any more support!

-Brian

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

if i was to go format by json for the batch-sub, do i need to add a count indicated like batch[1]?

{ "apikey": "example apikey", "id": "example id", "batch": [ { "email": { "email": "example email", "euid": "example euid", "leid": "example leid" }, "email_type": "example email_type", "merge_vars": { "...": "..." } } ], "double_optin": true, "update_existing": true, "replace_interests": true }

No.  If you were to take that example code and just fill in the parameters as illustrated, that is all you would need.

-Tyler

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

I have setup json with my system, and i noticed that i can only send a max of 18, any more then that and it won't added. Is this the max amount of batch sub you can do for that function?

Hi Keyinora,

If you refer to lists/batch-subscribe you'll notice that there is a limit for how large your batch is, but realistically you should not be running into it at 18 subscribers. 

Are you receiving any error messages ?  If so, make sure to pay attention to the specific details along with the error to see why the call might be failing.

If you're receiving a success message, then chances are the way your calls are being made is causing the data to be dropped even though it has a proper syntax and you will want to examine your code further.  I would suggest first starting with a simple call, passing only data such as the email address and first name.  From there once you get that consistently working you can add more data to your subscriber structs.

-Tyler

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

no error messages but for status it is returning 0, what does that indicate?

--

[Keyinora Darkmoon]

I think my syntacs is off

folling this example , do i need any comma to separate the emails like {"email" :{"email": "example")}, {"email" :{"email": "example")}, or like this  {"email" :{"email": "example")} {"email" :{"email": "example")}

{ "apikey": "example apikey", "id": "example id", "batch": [ { "email": { "email": "example email", "euid": "example euid", "leid": "example leid" }, "email_type": "example email_type", "merge_vars": { "...": "..." } } ], "double_optin": true, "update_existing": true, "replace_interests": true }

[MailChimp Support]

Hey, Keyinora. Since this forum is for answering questions about the MailChimp API specifically, we won't be the best resource to instruct on how to use JSON or validate JSON code for you. Instead you'll need to work with a JSON validator (like this one: http://jsonlint.com/), maybe find a few JSON/coding community forums addressing how to set up multiple structs, and test different scenarios on your own. Best of luck!

is there a way to pull from a list the emails that have unsubscribed?

Yes, thats possible through lists/members: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/members.php

Most answers to questions about functionality can be found by reviewing our documentation at http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/2.0/
