PHP library for v3 of the MailChimp API

PHP library for v3 of the Mailchimp API

This library provides convenient wrapper functions for Mailchimp's REST API. The API is documented here., _(*1)

Requirements

• PHP 5.4.0 or greater (7.0 or greater if you wish to use phpunit)
• Composer
• Guzzle

Installation

Dependencies are managed by Composer. After installing Composer, run the following command from the library root:, _(*2)

composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs, _(*3)

Or to install with phpunit:, _(*4)

composer install, _(*5)

Usage

Get your account information

A basic test to confirm the library is set up and functional., _(*6)

<?php
require 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/mailchimp-api-php/vendor/autoload.php';
$api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$mailchimp = new Mailchimp\Mailchimp($api_key);

// Get the account details of the authenticated user.
$response = $mailchimp->getAccount();

// Output the account details.
if (!empty($response) && isset($response->account_id)) {
  echo "ID: {$response->account_id}\n"
  . "Name: {$response->account_name}\n";
}

Get lists and their interest categories

A more complicated example that takes the response from one API call and uses that data to make another., _(*7)

<?php
require 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/mailchimp-api-php/vendor/autoload.php';
$api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$mailchimp_lists = new Mailchimp\MailchimpLists($api_key);

// Get all lists.
$response = $mailchimp_lists->getLists();

if (!empty($response) && isset($response->lists)) {
  foreach ($response->lists as $list) {
    // Output the list name.
    echo "List name: {$list->name}\n";

    // Get the list's interest categories.
    $interests = $mailchimp_lists->getInterestCategories($list->id);

    // Output the names of the list's interest categories.
    if (!empty($interests) && isset($interests->categories)) {
      foreach ($interests->categories as $category) {
        echo "Interest category: {$category->title}\n";
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing

This library includes a PHPUnit test suite., _(*8)

Running PHPUnit tests

Add Composer's vendor directory to your PATH by adding the following line to your profile. This is dependent on your system, but on a Linux or Mac OSX system using Bash, you'll typically find the file at ~/.bash_profile., _(*9)

export PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH", _(*10)

Bash example:, _(*11)

echo 'export PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Then run PHPUnit:, _(*12)

phpunit, _(*13)

Mailchimp API Playground

Mailchimp's API Playground provides access to all API methods via a web-based UI. You can use this to test API calls and review data you've sent to Mailchimp., _(*14)
