ACTION_BY_CONTACT is not working - it returns a (400) Bad Request error.
When I use ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER, I get "(403) Forbidden.", which essentially verifies that the code works and that the contact has "opted out"
Then when I use ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER (same code, same xml), I get "(400) Bad Request."
Here's the xml:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><id>http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername/contacts/43</id><title type="text">Contact: askrenes@example.com</title><updated>2008-07-23T14:21:06.407Z</updated><author></author><content type="application/vnd.ctct+xml"><Contact xmlns="http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/" id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername/contacts/43"><EmailAddress>askrenes@example.com</EmailAddress><FirstName>Andy</FirstName><LastName>Test</LastName><CompanyName>Acme Inc.</CompanyName><CustomField1></CustomField1><OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CONTACT</OptInSource><ContactLists><ContactList id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername/lists/7" /><ContactList id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/myusername/lists/12" /></ContactLists></Contact></content></entry>

This is also a problem for me. Can we get an update, or at least a suggestion for a workaround?

Ok, so I changed the URI to "http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" & sUsername & "/contacts"
You are correct about the list number... so after some trial and error I found an existing list, but now I'm getting a (415) Unsupported Media Type response.

I'm trying to get the VB.NET 'Add a Contact' example that's posted in a few different topics here to work, and I keep getting a (400) Bad Request response.
Here's my code... any help would be appreciated.
Dim sUsername As String = "myUserName"
Dim sPassword As String = "myPassword"
Dim sUri As String = "http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" & sUsername & "/activities"
Dim sListUri As String = "http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/" & sUsername & "/lists/1"
Dim sAPIKey As String = "myAPIKey"
'Setup an HttpWebRequest
Dim address As New Uri(sUri)
Dim request As HttpWebRequest = TryCast(WebRequest.Create(address), HttpWebRequest)
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential((sAPIKey & "%" & sUsername), sPassword)
request.Method = "POST"
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
'Build data string
Dim data As New StringBuilder()
data.Append("activityType=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("ADD_CONTACTS", Encoding.UTF8))
data.Append("&data=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(("Email Address,Email Type,First Name,Last Name" & Chr(10)), Encoding.UTF8))
data.Append(HttpUtility.UrlEncode((txtEmail.Text & ", HTML, " & txtFirstName.Text & ", " & txtLastName.Text), Encoding.UTF8))
data.Append("&lists=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sListUri))
Dim byteData As Byte() = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data.ToString())
Dim st As String = String.Empty
request.ContentLength = byteData.Length
Using postStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
postStream.Write(byteData, 0, byteData.Length)
End Using
Using response As HttpWebResponse = TryCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
Dim reader As New StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
st = reader.ReadToEnd()
End Using
