MailChimp.NET

.NET Wrapper for the MailChimp v2.0 API, built with MailChimp love ❤️

Quick Start

Install the NuGet package from the package manager console:

Install-Package MailChimp.NET

Next, you will need to provide MailChimp.NET with your API key in code. Need help finding your API key? Check here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/where-can-i-find-my-api-key

In your application, call:

// Pass the API key on the constructor:
MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");

// Next, make any API call you'd like:
ListResult lists = mc.GetLists();

Examples

Getting the first 100 users in each list:

using MailChimp;
using MailChimp.Lists;

MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");
ListResult lists = mc.GetLists();

//  For each list
foreach(var list in lists.Data)
{
	//  Write out the list name:
	Debug.WriteLine("Users for the list " + list.Name);
	
	//  Get the first 100 members of each list:
	MembersResult results = mc.GetAllMembersForList(list.Id, "subscribed", 0, 100);
	
	//  Write out each member's email address:
	foreach(var member in results.Data)
	{
	    Debug.WriteLine(member.Email);
	}
}

Subscribe an email address to a list:

MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");

//	Create the email parameter
EmailParameter email = new EmailParameter()
{
	Email = "[email protected]"
};

EmailParameter results = mc.Subscribe("YourListID", email);

Subscribe an email address to a list and set their interest groups (custom merge variables):

// optionally create a class that inherits MergeVar and add any additional merge variable fields:
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContract]
public class MyMergeVar : MergeVar
{
	[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMember(Name = "FNAME")]
	public string FirstName { get; set; }
	[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMember(Name = "LNAME")]
	public string LastName { get; set; }
}

MyMergeVar myMergeVars = new MyMergeVar();
myMergeVars.Groupings = new List<Grouping>();
myMergeVars.Groupings.Add(new Grouping());
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].Id = 1234; // replace with your grouping id
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].GroupNames = new List<string>();
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].GroupNames.Add("Your Group Name");
myMergeVars.FirstName = "Testy";
myMergeVars.LastName = "Testerson";

MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");

//	Create the email parameter
EmailParameter email = new EmailParameter()
{
	Email = "customeremail@righthere.com"
};

EmailParameter results = mc.Subscribe("YourListID", email, myMergeVars);

// or use the Dictionary to specify the fields and values. 
// GetMemberInfo will always return the fields and values using the dictionary and not the custom class.
MergeVar myMergeVars = new MergeVar();
myMergeVars.Groupings = new List<Grouping>();
myMergeVars.Groupings.Add(new Grouping());
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].Id = 1234; // replace with your grouping id
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].GroupNames = new List<string>();
myMergeVars.Groupings[0].GroupNames.Add("Your Group Name");
myMergeVars.Add("FNAME", "Testy");
myMergeVars.Add("LNAME", "Testerson");

MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");

//	Create the email parameter
EmailParameter email = new EmailParameter()
{
	Email = "customeremail@righthere.com"
};

EmailParameter results = mc.Subscribe("YourListID", email, myMergeVars);

Getting location data for each list:

MailChimpManager mc = new MailChimpManager("YourApiKeyHere-us2");
ListResult lists = mc.GetLists();

//  For each list
foreach(var list in lists.Data)
{
	Debug.WriteLine("Information for " + list.Name);
	
	//  Get the location data for each list:
	List<SubscriberLocation> locations = mc.GetLocationsForList(list.Id);
	
	//  Write out each of the locations:
	foreach(var location in locations)
	{
	    Debug.WriteLine("Country: {0} - {2} users, accounts for {1}% of list subscribers", location.Country, location.Percent, location.Total);
	}
}
