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://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://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/contacts-api/contacts-collection.html?method=POST create a campaign: https://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/email-campaigns/email-campaigns-collection.html?method=POST schedule the campaign: https://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/campaign-scheduling/campaign-schedule-collection.html?method=POST and report on the results: https://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...

When you (Constant Contact) do one of your database updates, ALL my clients' campaigns suddenly show a new last_modified date. This makes the email campaigns query 'modified_since' parameter useless. The only way to find which campaigns were recently sent is to query each and every campaign to check the last_run_date. This is not the first time you have messed things up with an update. This is forcing us to significantly increase the API queries we need in order to generate the reports we need. Please add a new parameter to the email campaigns collection query for last_run_since or similar. GET: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/emailmarketing/campaigns

PROBLEM 1. When I make a query to get a bulk CSV download of contacts using the endpoint: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/activities/exportcontacts?api_key=<my_api_key> with parameters (sorted by date descending): "file_type":"CSV","sort_by":"DATE_DESC","export_date_added":true,"lists":["<my_list_id>"],"column_names":["Email"] I get the response: <...>"errors":[{"message":"com.roving.RovingServerException: Unexpected IllegalArgumentException in Timestamp.valueOf. User Data: findSubscriberDetailByList","line_number":0,"email_address":""}]<...> ---- PROBLEM 2. When I make a query to get a bulk CSV download of contacts using the SAME endpoint: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/activities/exportcontacts?api_key=<my_api_key> with parameters (sorted by email address): "file_type":"CSV","sort_by":" EMAIL_ADDRESS ","export_date_added":true,"lists":["<my_list_id>"],"column_names":["Email"] I get the list of contacts, but it is SORTED DESCENDING by email address instead of ascending as per the documentation here: http://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/bulk_activities_api/bulk-activities-export-contacts.html#structure

Yes -- that's why I posted it under API Enhancement Requests....which I guess isn't clear from your end. Mike

Can you make an options for the bulk contacts export that includes all of the fields we can get with the contacts collection call? ( GET: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts ) Not having access to teh contact id, for example, makes the bulk download difficult to cross-reference with other non-bulk api results.

for the API method: GET https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/lists/{listId}/contacts it appears that the &modified_since parameter has no effect. I tried and duplicated the problem using the Test API functionality.

In my applciation, I make a query to get the SENT campaigns, then make successive queries to get campaign details for a selected group of specific campaigns by id. ONE campaign id fails with a 404 item not found error. Why would this happen? There is nothign special about the campaign or about the campaign number that would make it any different from others in the list. All are shown in the web interface. //api.constantcontact.com/v2/emailmarketing/campaigns/########?api_key=... Specifics avaialble.

I am using the query GET: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?api_key=xxx&status=REMOVED and am getting a large number of records with status of OPTOUT and even one ACTIVE as well as a couple REMOVED. A number of the contacts have email_addresses/status of REMOVED, but not all. Is there something wrong with this filter option? Other status options seem to work as expected.
