Adding List

[onsiteconnex]

I am trying to create a new list.

I am POSTing the XML to https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{account}/lists. Where {account} is my user account name.

The XML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">\r\n

<id>data:,none</id>\r\n

<title type="text"/>\r\n

<author />\r\n

<updated>2010-07-12T14:02:17Z</updated>\r\n

<content type="application/vnd.ctct+xml">\r\n

<ContactList xmlns="http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/">\r\n

<Name>New</Name>\r\n

</ContactList>\r\n

</content>\r\n

</entry>\r\n

I do not get any response nor does the new list get created.  I do not have any problems GETing the current list.

Does any one know what might be wrong and is there a way for the Constact Contact server admin to look at their logs to see what is being received and what might need to be adjusted?

I am using PHP with the following method similar to one provided as samples:

    function CallServer( $uri, $method, $args )

    {

      $data = "";



      $url = sprintf( "%s/ws/customers/%s/%s", $this->host, $this->account, $uri );

      $auth = sprintf( "%s%s%s:%s", CRM_CONSTANT_CONTACT_KEY, '%', $this->account, $this->password );

      $ch = curl_init();

      printf( "url <br>", $url );



      if( $method == "GET" )

      {

        if( $args != "" )$url .= '?' . $args;

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true );

      }

      else if( $method == "POST" )

      {

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args );

      }

      else if( $method == "PUT" )

      {

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT" );

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args );

      }

      else if( $method == "DELETE" )

      {

        curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE" );

      }

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url );

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC );

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $auth );

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );

      //curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( "Content-Type:application/atom+xml" ) );

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( "Content-Type:application/atom+xml", 'Content-Length: ' . strlen( $args ) ) );

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);

      curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

      $data = curl_exec( $ch );   // reply

      curl_close( $ch );

      flush();



      return $data;

    }

Content type needed to be

<content type="application/vnd.atom+xml">

I apologize for not responding sooner, I was just beginning to look at your code, but I am glad that you were able to resolve the 400 error that you were receiving.

For more information regarding list creation, I would recommend taking a look at Creating a List, as this will show example of the XML needed to create a list in your account.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
