Thanks but you should probably change your API documents to address this fact because that's not what they say currently. Unfortunately for me, we're dealing with thousands of contacts and hundreds of lists. It's not feasible to check this in the UI, I really just want the API to spit back the errors with the email address that is a problem so we can fix it in our system for the next time we export. CC isn't the default place we store our contacts and this behavior kind of assumes that it is.

Hi, I'm using API v2 with C#. I'm doing the multipart Contact Import in batches of 2000 at a time. I check the status using the Individual Activity Status Endpoint which is ConstantContact.GetActivity() in C#. If there are errors, I see the error count > 0 but the Errors are empty in the JSON. Is this a bug on your side or is this not implemented yet? Like here's a sample JSON response to the GetActivity() call : {"id":"db1edfb0-d7df-11e4-b12a-d4ae528eade9","type":"ADD_CONTACTS","status":"COMPLETE","errors":[],"file_name":"20150331163602_no_discipline_contacts_2.csv","start_date":"2015-03-31T19:57:00.000Z","finish_date":"2015-03-31T19:57:14.000Z","created_date":"2015-03-31T19:55:18.000Z","error_count":4,"contact_count":1999}" It shows up in the docs here: http://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/bulk_activities_api/bulk-activities-status-detail-report-api.html Thx.

I'm seeing this too from a C# client we use. I record the nextUrl link in my logs and the web service keeps repeating the same nextLink over and over again.

This seems related to this issue as well https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Developer-Support-ask-questions/All-contacts-uploaded-via-quot-bulkUrlEncoded-quot-are-rejected/td-p/187006

I should add too, I tried the bulkurlencoded piece with stripping the quotes on my side first. That doesn't work either.

I've just tried using the API v2 method of AddContactsMultipartActivity from the C# library that looks somewhat equivalent. It's not. There are problems with custom fields. That API call fails if I pass in my friendly names for custom fields. If I instead pass in "CUSTOM FIELD 1", "CUSTOM FIELD 2" etc, it will create the contacts, but NOT populate the custom fields at all. If you don't have something working in API v2, you cannot break it or remove it from API v1.

Is there an equivalent in api v2 for v1 BulkUrlEncoded ?

I use the .NET sdk for this. It takes less than 30 minutes most days to push these contacts. Some are new contacts, some are just updates.

In version 1 of the API, there's Utitliy.bulkUrlEncoded where you could slurp up a csv file with about 2,000 contacts in it and import that. We do that, and sleep for a few seconds and then do it over and over again. We routinely import 100k+ contacts into hundredes of lists and it only takes about 15-30 mins this way to both send the job to CC and for them to process it. There isn't really an equivalent in API v2 that is quick and efficient like this to my knowledge but hopefully the CC folks chime in. public static string bulkUrlEncoded( AuthenticationData authdata, string data, IList < string > listIds);

I guess my situation is fixed. the only thing I can think of is that there might have been a blip with the API returning less than full results earlier today. Also, like I mentioned, I've had to sort my list which I didn't need to do before. But other than that, I'm set. Thx.

I think I figured out the problem. I think the sort order for campaigns returned has flipped recently? I could swear the Campaigns were returned in chronological order previously and now they are returned in reverse chrono. My posted code snippet was missing a line too. My code looks like this: var campaigns = _cc.GetCampaigns(CampaignStatus.SENT, new DateTime(2013, 1, 1));
var pagination = campaigns.Meta.Pagination;
List<EmailCampaign> allCampaigns = new List<EmailCampaign>();
allCampaigns.AddRange(campaigns.Results);
// if there are more then 50 results, pagination.Next is populated
// with the next URL to fetch
while (pagination.Next != null)
{
log.Info(DateTime.Now + ": APIv2.GetEmailCampaigns Pagination Next " + pagination.Next);
// Avoid the API limiting
Thread.Sleep(1000);
campaigns = _cc.GetCampaigns(pagination);
pagination = campaigns.Meta.Pagination;
allCampaigns.AddRange(campaigns.Results);
}

I've been using the following code for months. I updated C# api v2 codebase on 11/11/2013. I can only get 146 campaigns for the year for our account when I know we have more. In fact, I can't get any Campaign data more recent than October 7th, 2013 even when I move the start date. Any clue why this would be happening? var campaigns = _cc.GetCampaigns(CampaignStatus.SENT, new DateTime(2013, 1, 1));
var pagination = campaigns.Meta.Pagination;
List<EmailCampaign> allCampaigns = new List<EmailCampaign>();
// if there are more then 50 results, pagination.Next is populated
// with the next URL to fetch
while (pagination.Next != null)
{
log.Info(DateTime.Now + ": APIv2.GetEmailCampaigns Pagination Next " + pagination.Next);
// Avoid the API limiting
Thread.Sleep(1000);
campaigns = _cc.GetCampaigns(pagination);
pagination = campaigns.Meta.Pagination;
allCampaigns.AddRange(campaigns.Results);
}

This isn't the way the C# libraries in github work. While the "listId" in CTCT. ConstantContact.GetContactsFromList is typed as string, it only supports integers, maybe down at the service level. I haven't had time to debug it yet. So with an integer for listId, there's no way to specify "OPTOUT" or "REMOVED". https://github.com/constantcontact/.net-sdk/blob/3d729e854a1f3ba21401afdb4ec9b59d4ba5eead/CTCTWrapper/ConstantContact.cs#L485 https://github.com/constantcontact/.net-sdk/blob/3d729e854a1f3ba21401afdb4ec9b59d4ba5eead/CTCTWrapper/Services/ListService.cs#L167 I've been using the version 1 API for these calls where you can do: Utility.getListMembers("do-not-mail", _auth, out nextLink); or Utility.getListMembers("removed", _auth, out nextLink);

The problem is that the chunkId is coming back with the full URL: chunkId: https://api.constantcontact.com?next=52 So the currentAddress field looks like this: https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{username}/listshttps://api.constantcontact.com?next=52"

In v1 of API, you could do something like the code below to fetch the members of the do not mail list. I don't even see this list in the results from the "contact list collection." Nor can you fetch it by list id of "do-not-mail" String nextLink;
List<Contact> contacts = (List<Contact>) Utility.getListMembers("/ws/customers/"+authdata.Username+"/lists/do-not-mail", authdata, out nextLink);
while(nextLink != ""){
List<Contact> nextPageContacts = (List<Contact>) Utility.getListMembers("https://api.constantcontact.com"+nextLink, authdata, out nextLink);
contacts.AddRange(nextPageContacts);

You should probably update the code or docs then because the current constructor gives the impression that it DOES create an access token via: public ConstantContact()
{
InitializeFields();
this.AccessToken = this.OAuth.GetAccessToken();
this.APIKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["APIKey"];
}

If I just run the code and let it try to generate an access token, it fails giving: CTCT.Exceptions.CtctException was unhandled HResult=-2146233088 Message=http.status.unauthorized:No authentication is present. Source=CTCT StackTrace: at CTCT.Services.ListService.GetLists(String accessToken, String apiKey) in c:\dev\projects\.net-sdk\CTCTWrapper\Services\ListService.cs:line 33 at CTCT.ConstantContact.GetLists() in c:\dev\projects\.net-sdk\CTCTWrapper\ConstantContact.cs:line 410 Here was the code I tried: ConstantContact cc = new ConstantContact(); var lists = cc.GetLists(); Now, if I just create an access token on the Mashery site and create a new constructor that uses that access token, everything works fine: ConstantContact cc = new ConstantContact(apiKey, accessToken); var lists = cc.GetLists(); Am I supposed to be using the Mashery-generated token, or is the library supposed to be able to generate it at runtime?
