Hi,
I keep hitting this error 400 - Bad Request if I try to add a new list or add a new contact to existing list. I tried the GET function and it worked beautifully so I know there is nothing wrong with the siteurl, username, password and API Key. Please take a look at the code below.
public void AddList()
{
{
try
{
// Create LoginCreditials
CredentialCache LoginCredentials = new CredentialCache();
// Add a new credential for this account
LoginCredentials.Add(new Uri("https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername"),
"Basic", new NetworkCredential("xxx-MyKey-xxx" +
"%" + "myusername", "mypassword"));
string sUri = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername/lists";
//Setup an HttpWebRequest to send the data
Uri addresss = new Uri(sUri);
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(addresss) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Credentials = LoginCredentials;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/atom+xml";
StringBuilder requestParam = new StringBuilder();
requestParam.Append("OptInDefault=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("false"));
requestParam.Append("&Name=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("NewList"));
requestParam.Append("&ShortName=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("NewL"));
requestParam.Append("&DisplayOnSignup=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("No"));
requestParam.Append("&SortOrder=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("92"));
//The response (returned as 'strResponse') will be XML. You can parse this for status messages if you like, or just ignore it.
byte[] byteData = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(requestParam.ToString());
string st = string.Empty;
request.ContentLength = byteData.Length;
using (Stream postStream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length);
}
using (HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
st = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
catch (WebException e)
{
// Get the web exception type and response code
MessageBox.Show(e.Status + "With response:" + e.Message);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// Get the exception type
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
}
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kavita
