Programatically add an e-mail to a list

[HowardA09]

Looking through the documentation I found the POST to the contacts endpoint, but no documentation on how to format the POST body, only parameters.

What endpoints will I need to use to add a new contact to a specific list say, list id=55555. And how do I format the data I pass?

Thanks

Hello,

The website for the POST endpoint (https://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/contacts-api/contacts-collection.html?method=POST) has an example of the JSON payload that you would pass along. You can test this out using our API Test page located here. https://constantcontact.mashery.com/io-docs

I've included that sample JSON payload below.
