A python client for v3 of MailChimp API

Project description

mailchimp3 v3.0.5 on PyPi MIT license Stable

python-mailchimp-api

A straighforward python client for v3 of MailChimp API using requests >= 2.7.0.

Getting Started

Installation

This client is hosted at PyPi under the name mailchimp3, to install it, simply run

pip install mailchimp3

Upgrading from v2.x

The order of arguments for initializing the Mailchimp API has been reversed starting in 2.1.0 as the username is an optional argument for basic auth. Please reverse the order of your arguments or remove the username argument entirely. The name of the authentication argument has also changed from mc_secret to mc_api.

Upgrading from v1.x

The installation procedure for 2.x is the same as before, however there are a massive number of changes to the naming conventions within this wrapper and the way in which certain methods are called. Please read the documentation below carefully for information on the new structure and expanded functionality. With this release, all documented endpoints are implemented and all endpoint methods are available.

History

Up to date with changelog features listed thru 3/03/2017.

Initialization

Grab YOUR_API_KEY from your mailchimp account (Account > Extra > Api Keys). YOUR_USERNAME is the one you use to login on the website and is optional.

from mailchimp3 import MailChimp

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

OAuth Support

In addition to HTTP Basic Authentication, MailChimp supports authentication through OAuth2. Information on obtaining the proper access key can be found here.

Pagination

Simply add count and offset arguments in your function. The count is how many records to return, the offset is how many records to skip. For endpoints that allow the pagination parameters, the all() method has an additional boolean get_all argument that will loop through all records until the API no longer returns any to get all records without manually performing an additional query. By default, count is 10 and offset is 0 for all endpoints that support it. The get_all parameter on the all() method on any endpoint defaults to false, which follows the values that are provided in the call, and using get_all=True will ignore the provided count and offset to ensure that all records are returned. When using get_all, the count will be 5000, to fetch large numbers of records without flooding the system with requests. The large size of count should not impact calls which are expected to return a very small number of records, and should improve performance for calls where fetching 5000 records would only provide a fraction by preventing the delay of making a huge number of requests.

client.lists.members.all('123456', count=100, offset=0)

Fields

Many endpoints allow you to select which fields will be returned out of all available fields (for example, only the email_address of a member). Simply add fields arguments in your function. The following only display email_address and id for each member in list 123456:

client.lists.members.all('123456', get_all=True, fields="members.email_address,members.id")

Examples

# returns all the lists (only name and id)
client.lists.all(get_all=True, fields="lists.name,lists.id")

# returns all members inside list '123456'
client.lists.members.all('123456', get_all=True)

# return the first 100 member's email addresses for the list with id 123456
client.lists.members.all('123456', count=100, offset=0, fields="members.email_address")

# returns the list matching id '123456'
client.lists.get('123456')

# add John Doe with email john.doe@example.com to list matching id '123456'
client.lists.members.create('123456', {
    'email_address': 'john.doe@example.com',
    'status': 'subscribed',
    'merge_fields': {
        'FNAME': 'John',
        'LNAME': 'Doe',
    },
})

# returns all the campaigns
client.campaigns.all(get_all=True)

# You can also disable at runtime with the optional ``enabled`` parameter.
# Every API call will return None
client = MailChimp('YOUR USERNAME', 'YOUR SECRET KEY', enabled=False)

# You are encouraged to specify a value in seconds for the ``timeout``
# parameter to avoid hanging requests.
client = MailChimp('YOUR USERNAME', 'YOUR SECRET KEY', timeout=10.0)

# You are encouraged to specify a User-Agent for requests to the MailChimp
# API. Headers can be specified using the ``request_headers`` parameter.
headers = requests.utils.default_headers()
headers['User-Agent'] = 'Example (example@example.com)'
client = MailChimp('YOUR USERNAME', 'YOUR SECRET KEY',
                   request_headers=headers)

API Endpoints

Below is the list of all endpoints and the methods that can be called against them. Any endpoint that has a method that takes an ID argument (for example the app_id in the authorized_apps endpoint or the subscriber_hash in the list members endpoints) will record all IDs passed as well as those generated by methods that will only ever return a single result such as the create() method present on some endpoints. These stored attributes are only available at the level that they were passed or created at and must be passed again to interact with a lower or higher level such as accessing a list and then a member. The below code assumes that you have initialized the MailChimp class as listed above with the name client.

Logging

The MailChimp client will log request/response detail into the mailchimp3.client logging namespace. Consider the following snippet to get started with logging:

import logging
fh = logging.FileHandler('/path/to/some/log.log')
logger = logging.getLogger('mailchimp3.client')
logger.addHandler(fh)

# use the client normally
client.lists.all(**{'fields': 'lists.date_created'})

request/response detail will be appended into /path/to/some/log.log:

GET Request: https://us15.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists?fields=lists.date_created
GET Response: 200 {"lists":[{"date_created":"2017-05-10T13:53:05+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-08-22T20:27:56+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-05-12T21:22:15+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-04-27T17:42:04+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-05-10T14:14:49+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-05-10T13:52:37+00:00"},{"date_created":"2017-05-10T13:51:40+00:00"}]}
