how do you find the LIST ID of a list

[MarthaG97]

I am using the example code for the API to GET Contact data.  One of the parameters is List ID.  How/where do I find the IDs of my lists?

Hello Martha G97,

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.

You can use the GET Lists Collection call to obtain a full list of your account’s List ID’s. I am including the API Reference documentation for this call below:

GET Lists Collection:

https://developer.constantcontact.com/api_reference/index.html#!/Contact_Lists/getLists

Please have a look and let us know if you have any other questions!

Regards,

[MarthaG97]

Thanks John B.  I found it.

Answering my own question:  Go to the API Reference for GET Lists Collection and click Try.  The response will contain your lists and list IDs.

Instead of fussing with the API just visit the list within your account and copy the last bit of the URL.  The URL will be something like the following.

https://app.constantcontact.com/pages/contacts/ui#contacts/9f8a2e50-09d3-11ed-b739-fa163e6b8330 

In this case the list id is 9f8a2e50-09d3-11ed-b739-fa163e6b8330
