batch-mailchimp 0.0.2

A python client for v3 of MailChimp API, with batch support

A light wrapper around mailchimp3 that makes it easier to use batch operations.

Getting Started

Installation

pip install batch-mailchimp

Initialization

This can be used as a drop-in replacement for mailchimp3 – just change the import at the top:

from batch_mailchimp import BatchMailChimp as MailChimp

client = MailChimp(mc_api='YOUR_API_KEY', mc_user='YOUR_USERNAME')

Examples

You can use this exactly as you would the mailchimp3 library. The addition is the Batch class, for keeping track of batch operations. To use it, first create a new batch, then include it in an API call via the batch keyword argument.

from batch_mailchimp import Batch, BatchMailChimp as MailChimp

client = MailChimp(mc_api='YOUR_API_KEY', mc_user='YOUR_USERNAME')

# create a batch object...
my_batch = Batch()

# add John Doe with email [e-mail] to list matching id '123456'
client.lists.members.create('123456', {
        'email_address': '[e-mail]',
        'status': 'subscribed',
        'merge_fields': {
            'FNAME': 'John',
            'LNAME': 'Doe',
        },
    },
    batch=my_batch,  # ...and include it in an API call.
)

The API call won’t fire immediately, but will instead be added to the batch. When you’re ready, run the batch:

my_batch.run()

You can check the status of your batch operation using:

my_batch.status()

You can also delete your batch operation using:

my_batch.delete()

API Structure and Endpoints

The API Structure matches that of mailchimp3. You should refer to their documentation for usage.

Endpoints are also the same, except for the addition of the batch keyword.
