Hi everyone, I have implemented paging in the code as shown below. If the records are more than/equal to 9K, however, an application error says: "http.status.internal_server_error:We are currently experiencing an issue with our service, please try again in a few minutes or contact Customer Support at webservices@constantcontact.com." (We've contacted the email provided but have yet to receive a response.) My question: How can we handle this issue if there are records exceeding 9K? myContactlist = _contact.GetContacts(null, 500, modifiedsince, null);//to fetch all the records(active+optout) //myContactlist = _contact.GetContacts(null, 500, modifiedsince, ContactStatus.OPTOUT); //pagination to fetch the records >500 var pagination = myContactlist.Meta.Pagination; //pagination to fetch the records >500 // if there are more then 500 results, pagination.Next is populated // with the next URL to fetch while (pagination.Next != null) { ResultSet<Contact> morecontacts = _contact.GetContacts(modifiedsince, pagination); myContactlist.Results = myContactlist.Results.Union(morecontacts.Results).ToList(); pagination = morecontacts.Meta.Pagination; } If I call this through the API, it also fails: https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/contacts?next=c3RhcnRBdD0xMjQ1MDYxNjYzJmxpbWl0PTUwMCZtb2RpZmllZF9zaW5jZT0yMDE1LTAxLTA3VDAwOjAwOjAwLjAwMFo&api_key=<apikey>&access_token=<access token> I've provided screenshots for your reference. Thanks for your time. Kind regards, Nick

Hi Constant Contact, I'm trying to make a PUT call in the I/O docs and OPTOUT a contact, but the response body continues to say ACTIVE (even though the call succeeds). Any idea why this is happening? I've attached screenshots to show you what I've done, and please let me know if you need more info. Any help you can provide will help greatly. Thanks, Nick W

Hi Ian, How are we be able to unsubscribe contacts in batches? I need to unsubscribe 1500 people, but surely I don't have to go into every single one and flip the flag. Regards, Nick

Hey everyone, My last thread died so I thought I would post here: I'm doing a POST call to my company's Constant Contact account using cURL, but my code does not seem to want to work. I'm using the same cURL sample code posted here: https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Getting-Started-with-API-s/How-to-Import-Contacts-w-Multipart-Endpoint/m-p/219000#M2317. Because I'm using what Constant Contact has provided, I must be missing something obvious. I've attached a screenshot of my current code and error messages. Thanks to anyone who can provide help. Regards, Nick W

Richard, Thanks for the guidance. My CURL still doesn't work after further testing. I've attached a screenshot. Thanks, Nick

Hi everyone, I am trying to post a single file of contacts to my user's account (in this case, the test file I am trying only has one contact). However, both the cURL and typing JSON into the Request Body keeps resulting in errors. I've inserted screenshots of both of these results. Does anyone know why this POST call is not working for me for both cURL and/or JSON? Thanks for your time.

Richard, Thank you for the reply, and sorry for my late response. Capitalizing the 'C' didn't work, but I just realized that this may be a simple firewall issue on my side (I have yet to whitelist api.constantcontact.com). I'll whitelist the domain, try it again, and reply back if it still doesn't work. Thanks, Nick

Hi Rich, Thanks for providing details for multipart imports. One question: the Java sample code provided does not work for me. Could you please elaborate on what parts of the Java code I must modify myself? I've personalized the obvious ones like API key, authorization token, etc., but I feel that I could be missing something. The code I used is: { final HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); final HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("https://api.constantcontact.com/v2/activities/addcontacts?api_key=<I put my API key>"); httppost.addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer <I put my access token here>"); httppost.addHeader("Accept", "application/json”); httppost.addHeader("content-type", "multipart/form-data"); final File fileToUse = new File("C:\Users\c16196\Documents\Work\Projects\APIConstantContact\Test File POST Call.xlsx"); final FileBody data = new FileBody(fileToUse); final String listIds = "1"; final StringBody lists = new StringBody(listIds); final StringBody fileName = new StringBody(fileToUse.getName()); final MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(); reqEntity.addPart("file_name", fileName); reqEntity.addPart("lists", lists); reqEntity.addPart("data", data); httppost.setEntity(reqEntity); final HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost); final HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity(); EntityUtils.consume(resEntity); httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); } The response I received is: [{ "error_key" : "http.header.content_type.invalid" , "error_message" : "Invalid content type. API only supports application/json." }] Any help you can offer helps me. Thank you, Nick W

Hi everyone, I am using a GET request on the ContactList method to view a list of customers in my employer's Constant Contact list, and I wish to see contacts that have modified their settings on today's date. However, I am getting data returned to me that shows dates earlier than today. Does anyone know why this is happening? I have attached a couple screenshots that show you what I am talking about. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Thank you, Dave! So the developer (me, in this case) generates the API key and pairs it with the access token generated by the Constant Contact user? That is my understanding of the process before making the API calls.

Hello everyone, I plan to develop an API between my company's database and Constant Contact. My company already has an account set up with Constant Contact, but the existing account holder is in another department in another country. I will be making API calls through my account, though it seems that I need to generate an access token. Does the existing account holder in my company need to generate this access token for me so that I may make calls between the databases? Any advice helps. Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone, I need to synch my local database with my Constant Contact database in hopes of updating contacts who have unsubscribed from my company's email blasts. An especially helpful page I have found is located at: http://developer.constantcontact.com/docs/contacts-api/contacts-index.html#contact_status. It would appear that the "Add and Update up to 20,000 contacts with a single API call" is what I'm looking for (please tell me if I'm wrong in thinking this). My questions -- how much time and how much money does updating 20,000 contacts with a single API call typically take? This is my first post in this community, and I am new to API. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you all for your time.
