Hi,

Following is my xml being generated for create contact (ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER) API call (v1)

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
	<title type="text">test</title>
	<updated>2014-10-13T09:01:06Z</updated>
	<author>test</author>
	<id>data&colon;,none</id>
	<summary type="text">Contact</summary>
	<content type="application/vnd.ctct+xml">
	<Contact xmlns="http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/">	
         <EmailAddress>bfuhrmann@att.net</EmailAddress>       
	 <FirstName>Mary</FirstName>
	 <LastName>Fuhrmann</LastName>
	 <OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource>
         <ContactLists>
 	   <ContactList id="https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/xyz@checkmandesign.com/lists/28" />
	</ContactLists>
       </Contact>
 </content>
</entry>

 The curl is returning following error

"erorr: The requested URL returned error: 400"

I have gone through the forum, and forum and error_code documentation, and from that I undertand that this is related with xml malformed. But I can't figure out what's wrong with my xml. Could antone please help me?

Hello,

After reviewing this XML, I find that it is most likely that the problem here is specifically that you are attempting to add contacts to a list that no longer exists. In this XML the contact is specifically being added to a list with the ID of 28, which is failing. In order to view the list IDs for all of the lists currently in your account, you can make a GET API request to https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/USERNAME/lists

If you have any questions or any issues with updating the list ID, please let us know!

Best Regards,
