Thanks again, Benjamin.   I did some trial-and-error testing and found that some of the fields listed on the page referenced work and others don't.  "Postal Code" does not work along with "Country" and a few others.   I'll wait to hear what you find.   Cheers,   -Scot ... View more

Benjamin,   Sorry.  I spoke too soon.  I tried adding just the "Zip/Postal Code" field and I still get the same 400 error message.  Here's what I'm posting.   activityType=SV_ADD&data=Email+Address%2CFirst+Name%2CLast+Name%2CZip%2FPostal+Code%0ALiz.Buck40%40yahoo.com%2CLiz%2CBuck%2C27701%0ACheryl.Harris26%40hotmail.com%2CCheryl%2CHarris%2C27701&lists=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.constantcontact.com%2Fws%2Fcustomers%2Fcat1013%2Flists%2F1 activityType=SV_ADD&data=Email+Address,First+Name,Last+Name,Zip/Postal+Code Liz.Buck40@yahoo.com,Liz,Buck,27701 Cheryl.Harris26@hotmail.com,Cheryl,Harris,27701&lists=http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/cat1013/lists/1  Any ideas?   -Scot ...

Benjamin,   That's great.  Much appreciated.  I'm sure that'll do the trick.  You might want to have someone update the README file that comes with the python libraries and put that in the create_activity section.  That would be very helpful.   Have a great one.   -Scot ... View more

UPDATE:   It seems that the culprit is the original list of field names.  If I use any of those field names I get "Error 400: Bad upload data" in the response body.  If I use the proper names, it works.  The problem is that I cannot guess at what the proper names would be for all the fields I would like to use.   It sounds like you're saying that the underscored field name ought to work and I certainly agree.  However, I can change my code to use the proper names if you can send me a list of what they are.   Thanks again,   -Scot ...

Oh, and...  If this isn't enough information and you'd still like to see the code, I'll see if I can cobble together a standalone outside of my library that exhibits the same issue and post it for you.   Thanks,   -Scot ... View more

Benjamin,      Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I'm not sure that my code will be of much use unless you can see what my data structures contain.  I think the way my code is written, it may be hard to cut and paste the relevant parts and have it make sense.  Let me start by showing you the data structures and then the params sent in the URL.  Perhaps you can spot something there.  Here's the dictionary that contains the "rows" and "columns" elements:     { "rows": [ [ "Liz.Buck40@yahoo.com", "Liz", "Buck", "27701" ], [ "Cheryl.Harris26@hotmail.com", "Cheryl", "Harris", "27701" ] ], "columns": [ "email_address", "first_name", "last_name", "postal_code" ] }  When I pass that along to the creat_activity() method in ctctwspylib, I get these params that are passed to the API:   activityType=SV_ADD &data=email_address%2Cfirst_name%2Clast_name%2Cpostal_code%0A Liz.Buck40%40yahoo.com%2CLiz%2CBuck%2C27701%0A Cheryl.Harris26%40hotmail.com%2CCheryl%2CHarris%2C27701 &lists=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.constantcontact.com%2Fws%2Fcustomers%2FXXXXXXX%2Flists%2F1   Everything above is exactly as it is sent to the API except that I changed the customer ID in the list URL to X's for security purposes.  Decoded, it looks like this (for readability):   activityType=SV_ADD &data=email_address,first_name,last_name,postal_code Liz.Buck40@yahoo.com,Liz,Buck,27701 Cheryl.Harris26@hotmail.com,Cheryl,Harris,27701 &lists=http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/XXXXXXX/lists/1   On a whim, I tried changing the field names to the same as are given in the examples in the README file that came with the ctctwspylib library.  (email_address = Email Address, first_name = First Name and last_name = Last Name).  When I did so, it worked.  I was not able to find the equivalent for postal_code, though.   Thanks for your help.   -Scot   ...
