Wrappers

API Documentation

By "wrapper", we mean a chunk of code (class, dll, etc.) that you will be able to download, drop into your project, and get going very quickly. These will handle the details of the actual network connections, parameters, and interface for you so that you can focus on just using the object(s) we expose to integrate MailChimp into your code.

PHP 4/5 API wrapper:
changelog

  • 2009-10-26 : MCAPI v1.2.4 (current) - connects to and supports the methods found in version 1.2 of our API
  • 2000-08-20 : MCAPI v1.1.5 (deprecated) - connects to and supports the methods found in version 1.1 of our API
Note: a long time ago in this very same galaxy we supported some api-like substances that people were actually using. They went by names such as MCSubscriber.class.php, subscribe_page.php, and Frederick. At this time they are no longer supported and if you ask, our only recommendation will be that you start using the real API documented here that we are supporting from here on out.

.NET 2+ API wrapper DLL:
changelog

  • 2009-08-20 - MC.NET v1.1.4 (current) - connects to and supports the methods found in version 1.1 of our API
Note: We are not .Net programmers - be sure to view the README in the file you download.

WebHook example code:

  • PHP example - basic script that support securing your URL and logging received data to a file for later inspection
Note: These are not full implementations and are simply provided to give you a base to start working from.
