Just a bit of feedback on this item - the sent time should be included with the Get /emails/activities/{campaign_activity_id}. Using the .../tracking/sends endpoint is potentially a very big query that may not be required. That way, reporting could include the from_email, subject, etc as well as the sent time for the primary email and the resend. This would be a typical reporting request.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get a list of Landing Page UUIDs via the API -- am I missing something? All of the landing page reporting methods require the landing page campaign_activity_id. Other that copying it from the web interface, is there no way to get it through the API?

The bulk request /activities/contact_exports endpoint allows you to specify the fields you want, but I can't find a list of field names that can be used with the command. I tried the fields listed for the contact creation (post /contacts), but the street_address does not return anything.

Started getting these errors for multiple accounts a few days ago. A typical API call is: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/emailmarketing/campaigns/{campaign_id]/tracking/clicks?api_key=...&limit=500 The error is: 400 Bad Request [{"error_key":"http.status.bad_request","error_message":"Caught exception while calling remote EJB; nested exception is com.roving.RovingRuntimeException: TrackingAPIClient.callContactsAPI() error, site owner=..."}] Any idea what is going on?

I got a notice that all applications must be copied and update to the new Oauth endpoints...ok, but they reference the V3 API Oauth endpoints as being the ones that need to be changed. My app still uses the old V2 API and the Oauth endpoints that went with it: https://oauth2.constantcontact.com/oauth2/oauth/siteowner/authorize and https://oauth2.constantcontact.com/oauth2/oauth/token Will these continue to work after the August 23rd shutdown of the 'previous' service? I just want to make sure I don't have to cram a V3 API update into my customer's summer holiday schedules...

When trying to query the V2 API for any campaign details for specific clients (opens, sends, bounces, etc), I am getting this error. It seems to affect only a handful of client accounts so far, but it seems to indicate a problem somewhere.

Been getting this error on the V2 Campaigns API queries for a couple of new clients. Older client accounts seem to have no problem. Anyone know what might cause this?

Ah -- that is a step I overlooked. Using PUT to the campaign after it is created, you can add a list to it:
https://v2.developer.constantcontact.com/docs/email-campaigns/email-campaign-resource.html?method=PUT
In the JSON body, you set the list ID
"sent_to_contact_lists": [{"id": "1"}]

You don't add a contact to a campaign, you add it to a list. Then you send the campaign to the list.

The v2 API has the capability to add emails to a list:
https://v2.developer.constantcontact.com/docs/contacts-api/contacts-collection.html?method=POST
create a campaign:
https://v2.developer.constantcontact.com/docs/email-campaigns/email-campaigns-collection.html?method=POST
schedule the campaign:
https://v2.developer.constantcontact.com/docs/campaign-scheduling/campaign-schedule-collection.html?method=POST
and report on the results:
https://v2.developer.constantcontact.com/docs/campaign-tracking/summary-report.html
...so you could do it all from the API.

This is what I have been doing: - using the web interface, create a new list for the autoresponder, and set up the autoresponder to send to anyone added to the list. - using the API, add new users to the list with the ACTION_BY_VISITOR option. That causes the addition of the email to trigger the autoresponder. - using the API, query the contacts and filter to a short list by the list_id that is used for the autoresponder. - for recently added contacts in that list, query get-activities for each contact through the API. You will get the send, open, and click activities for all of the autoresponder emails even though those 'campaigns' are not otherwise available. Figure out which campaign_id belongs to which email in the series and build yourself a lookup table. - you can now report sends, opens, and clicks for each email in the autoresponder series. It is a lot of queries and manipulation to get the results, but it is better than nothing...
