通过REST API / GET请求订阅Mailchimp列表

Question

How to easily, with a single HTTP request, add an email to a MailChimp subscribers list? Just from a command line with curl or from within a browser with, for example, new Image().src = '…' .

Answer 1

In short:

curl 'http://{LOGIN}.{DATACENTER}.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u={USER_ID}&id={LIST_ID}&EMAIL={SUBSCRIBER}'

Add more MERGE fields by appending get parameters like this:

curl 'http://{LOGIN}.{DATACENTER}.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u={USER_ID}&id={LIST_ID}&EMAIL={SUBSCRIBER}&MERGE1=value&MERGE2=value2'

What about LOGIN, DATACENTER, u, id?

• LOGIN is the MailChimp account name;
• DATACENTER is just a DC the endpoint is located in;
• u is the user ID;
• id is the subscribers list ID.

Mailchimp docs advice to get these values by ripping them out of an embedded form HTML code.

For me, the form code looks like this gist , and the corresponding URI looks like this:

http://inshaker.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=3750251e6abbbabf6c38f93bf&id=dded750b1a&EMAIL=a@b.c

NOTE : This is not an API call. Mailchimp API is based on JSON-RPC and is a bit harder to use from the command line or client-side JS.
