Hi there, I wanted to also provide a little more information regarding the API specific question. You can obtain the ticket_id via our API endpoint: eventspot/events/[eventId]/registrants/[registrantId]. In the JSON, there will be a ticket_id key with the value you seek. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi NabTestA, Use Utility.GetContactDetailsById() instead to obtain Custom Fields for the contact. If you do not know what the ID is, first search for it by emailaddress: Utility.SearchContactByEmail(). Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

Hi LamplighterP, I'm sorry, I am not sure how we can be of assistance if you are unable to make the changes to the files on your server due to permissions. You may want to contact your web hosting service for additional assistance on setting file/folder permissions. Please let us know if this works after you have proper permissions to edit the files. Thanks,

Hi SamH882, The consumer secret is different than the access token. You use the secret and API Key to obtain a token. For additional information, please read this link: http://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Documentation/Authentication-using-OAuth-2-0-Server-and-Client-Flows/ba-p/38313 Thanks,

Thanks BobB692, Unfortunately, that method does only supply some data nodes and we require you to then use the method getContactDetails to obtain the complete Contact object. I understand this two step process is a little tedious and unnecessary in most cases and we are working to improve this functionality in our next version of the API. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎11-01-2012

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. We do thank you for reporting this to us. We'll look into getting the wrapper updated to encode the email address. Thanks,

Hi LampLighter, In your root directory, there should be a file called, config.php. In there you should see this: var $success_url = ""; var $failure_url = ""; Insert the success and failure URLs between the quotes like so: var $success_url = "http://www.mydomain.com?request=success"; var $failure_url = "http://www.mydomain.com?request=failed"; Please let us know if this resolves your issues. Thanks,

Hey Pradeep, This of course can be done. It sounds like you are trying to add a new contact with Product A and then add that same contact again but with Product B. Because this is a RESTFul API, if the contact already exists in the account, you must PUT not POST. Adding a new contact uses POST. Updating a current contact uses PUT. The PHP wrapper equivalents are: addContact which is used to create a new contact. updateContact() which is used to update an existing contact. You can do one of two things: Add the contact with both lists in the XML. Add the contact with one list and then update that contact with the second list. I personally would go with the first option; it is easier and logically flows better. If you are still running into issues, please post your code for us to review. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎10-18-2012

Hey Pradeep, With the PHP lib you are using you would do this: $ConstantContact = new ConstantContact($authType, $apiKey, $un, $pw); //Returns an array of Contacts $myContact = $ConstantContact->searchContactsByEmail('emailAddress'); //Get details of specific Contact $myContactDetails = $ConstantContact->getContactDetails($myContact[0]); Do a print_r on $myContactDetails and you will see a "lists" node which includes an array of list URIs. Hope this helps. Please confirm. Thanks,

Hi Nikki, We can work through this step by step. I noticed the header redirect lines are commented out so that may be one reason why you are receiving a blank page. Just remove the two // to uncomment. //header('Location: simple_form.php?email='.urlencode($_POST['src_mail'])); //header('Location: edit_contact.php?email='.urlencode($_POST['src_mail'])); Another reason why you could be getting a blank screen is because this is a production enviroment and in your PHP setting you have selected not to display errors. This is good so the site looks cleaner for your customers but makes it more difficult to troubleshoot issues with out knowiing where to start. You can turn on errors by adding this to your PHP page: error_reporting(E_ALL); If uncommenting the header redirects don't work, please let me know what errors you are getting. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎10-03-2012

Hey AAATidwater, Are you getting any error messages? Could you post a snippit of code so we can review what it is you are trying to do with the file? Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎10-03-2012

Hey Kevin, Would love to see a print_r of the return variable to see exactly what we are working with that needs to be parsed out. If you could post that here, that would be great. We have a PHP lib that would lighten the work load you have to deal with such as XML parsing and cURL which can be found here: https://github.com/constantcontact/ctct_php_library You just include one file in your project and your ready. Let us know how you want to proceed and we can continue looking at your cURL settings and assist with parsing out the return. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Thank you for the file, I just reviewed it and found the login variable missing an 'e' in the name of the account. After adding that in, I was able to make successful requests to our API. Please confirm this as a solution after you've tested. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Hey Kevin, You can attach it to the email you should have received when you emailed webservices or just email it directly to me: aweber AT constantcontact DOT com Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Hey Kevin, Using your credentials I was able to search by emailAddress. I noticed you are using a variable name $username. The default cc_class.php file uses $login. Did you change anything in the file itself? Could you attach it here so I can see its contents? Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Thank you Kevin, We have received the requested information and will begin testing with those credentials and checking logs for possible solutions. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Hey Kevin, Just tried the other cc_class file and it is working for me after hard coding credentials into the file. Send me your Username so I can check logs and dig deeper as to why it is not working for you. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-28-2012

Sorry Kevin, cc_class.php resides in 2 wrappers and I thought you were using another wrapper. I will test with the other wrapper and get back to you. In the mean time, can you DM me the username you are using so I can check the logs on our servers? Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-27-2012

See response here: http://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Developer-Support-ask-questions/is-it-possible-to-return-true-or-false-for-email-check/m-p/63349/highlight/false#M5885

Hey Kevin, 401 means the credentials you are passing are not correct. You can read more about that here: 401 The file you are including is part of a larger project that auto generates a form for people to use to have a custom signup form added to their website. If you are not using this and are only using the file to create your own signup form, you may want to use another wrapper which is better suited for that type of usage. You can find this wrapper here: wrapper Because that file you are using is part of a bigger project, it also requires another file called config.php. Since you got a 401 error and not another error code, it appears this config.php file does exisit on your server but perhaps the credentials stored in that file are not correct and thus why you are getting a 401. Please double check that file. If all checks out, please either DM me that information so I may test using your credentials or you can email webservices AT constantcontact DOT com The above code has been tested and works with the mentioned files. I'm sure we can figure out a solution for you. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-27-2012

Hey Kevin, The class you are using has a public function called subscriberExists which will return an ID if successful or false if unsuccessful. $response = $ConstantContact->subscriberExists($emailAddress); if ($response == false) { //Contact does not exist echo "Invalid Email Address"; } else { //Contact does exist echo $response; } Hope this helps. Just let us know. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎09-12-2012

Hi Jordan, I will check out that gem and see if I have any luck doing a PUT to update a current contact and get back to you. As far as the issues you were receiving with getting contact details by emailaddress and missing Lists, this was how the API was designed. In order to get a list of lists a contact is in, you have to do a get on the collection by ID not by searching for an email address. If you would like a Ruby example, I can provide you with specifics, just let me know.

Andrew_W · ‎12-27-2011

Hey, Our new PHP wrapper can be found here and has a folder with examples, specifically Adding Contacts. After creating the object, you would assign it a "firstName". $myContact = new Contact(); $myContact->firstName = "My First Name"; If you need assistance with this wrapper, please let us know specifically what issues you are having and we'll work with you towards a solution. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎12-22-2011

Hi Todd, The best way to update a Contact is to first do a GET on that contact. What you "GET" is the XML of the contact which contains all the required nodes for submitting a POST(Update). By doing this, you guarantee the XML to be correct when sending it back to our server as well as preserving the data selected by the customer. You then only change the content of the nodes you want updated and POST that XML back to us. If you take the Node City and set it to blank like in your example, you are correct and you would be deleting that data from the system. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Andrew_W · ‎12-22-2011

Hi, Could you please include the XML you are POSTing to our server? Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎12-20-2011

Hi Eric, We wouldn't be able to see what was going on with out the XML you are sending to our servers at the time of the error. The next time this happens to you, please let us know and include the XML. We'd be more than happy to look into the issue. Thanks,

Andrew_W · ‎12-20-2011

Hey Chad, You are correct. Our API takes the submitted XML for Lists and completely wipes out the old data for the new data.

Andrew_W · ‎12-20-2011

Hi Todd, You are missing a node: <OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource> See this link for all required nodes.

Andrew_W · ‎12-20-2011

Thank you Shawn, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Sounds like it is time to revisit the code in the CF wrapper. Thank you for the feedback,

Andrew_W · ‎12-20-2011

Chad, The code below will search for all contacts with a specific email and remove it from all lists but list 22. string _nextChunk; List<string> myEmail = new List<string>(); myEmail.Add("aweber@constantcontact.com"); IList<Contact> myList = Utility.SearchContactByEmail(authdata, myEmail, out _nextChunk); ContactOptInList newList = new ContactOptInList(); newList.ContactList = new ConstantContactBO.ContactList("22"); foreach (Contact contact in myList) { contact.ContactLists.Add(newList); Utility.UpdateContactFullForm(authdata, contact); }
