Resubscribe users and delete user via Mailchimp API v2.0

[Andrew Yanush]

I am trying to delete member from the list http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/batch-unsubscribe.php ,

using delete_member=true

The question is:

How can I delete the member via API without unsubscribing him? because I want to easily add him in future.

For now if I deleted member from the list, then I can't add him, because I am getting an error:

212 Resubscribed user can not be added.

Is any solution how I can delete and add the same member with the same email via API ?

Hey Andrew,

You can delete and re-add with the approach you mentioned, however if the list member unsubscribes on their own your re-add will fail with the 212 exception.  You cannot delete and re-subscribe list members who unsubscribed from your list, in accordance with our terms of service and anti-abuse policies.  

You can verify your flow by subscribing your own test address, deleting it and then re-subscribing it.  Just be sure you account for the above situation where members unsubscribe and cannot be re-added.
