PHP library for v3 of the Mailchimp API

This library provides convenient wrapper functions for Mailchimp's REST API. The API is documented here.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.4.0 or greater (7.0 or greater if you wish to use phpunit)
  • Composer
  • Guzzle

Installation

Dependencies are managed by Composer. After installing Composer, run the following command from the library root:

composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs

Or to install with phpunit:

composer install

Usage

Get your account information

A basic test to confirm the library is set up and functional.

With OAuth Access token

<?php
require 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/mailchimp-api-php/vendor/autoload.php';

// Instantiate MailchimpApiInterface
$authentication_settings = [
  'access_token' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
  'data_center' => 'YOUR_DATA_CENTER',
  'api_user' => 'oauth',
];

// Use Mailchimp2 class for OAuth access_token.
$api_class = new Mailchimp2($authentication_settings);

// Instantiate a MailchimpApiUser or a class that extends it (ie. MailchimpLists, MailchimpSignups, etc..)
$mailchimp = new MailchimpApiUser($api_class);

// Get the account details of the authenticated user.
$response = $mailchimp->getAccount();

// Output the account details.
if (!empty($response) && isset($response->account_id)) {
  echo "ID: {$response->account_id}\n"
  . "Name: {$response->account_name}\n";
}

With API Key

require 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/mailchimp-api-php/vendor/autoload.php';

// Instantiate MailchimpApiInterface
$authentication_settings = [
  'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  'api_user' => 'api_key',
];

// Use Mailchimp class for api_key.
$api_class = new Mailchimp($authentication_settings);

// Instantiate a MailchimpApiUser or a class that extends it (ie. MailchimpLists, MailchimpSignups, etc..)
$mailchimp = new MailchimpApiUser($api_class);

// Get the account details of the authenticated user.
$response = $mailchimp->getAccount();

// Output the account details.
if (!empty($response) && isset($response->account_id)) {
  echo "ID: {$response->account_id}\n"
  . "Name: {$response->account_name}\n";
}ject = new MailchimpApiUser($api_class, $http_options);

Get lists and their interest categories

A more complicated example that takes the response from one API call and uses that data to make another.

<?php
require 'PATH_TO_LIBRARY/mailchimp-api-php/vendor/autoload.php';

$authentication_settings = [
  'access_token' => 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
  'data_center' => 'YOUR_DATA_CENTER',
  'api_user' => 'oauth',
];
$api_class = new Mailchimp2($authentication_settings);

$mailchimp_lists = new Mailchimp\MailchimpLists($api_class);

// Get all lists.
$response = $mailchimp_lists->getLists();

if (!empty($response) && isset($response->lists)) {
  foreach ($response->lists as $list) {
    // Output the list name.
    echo "List name: {$list->name}\n";

    // Get the list's interest categories.
    $interests = $mailchimp_lists->getInterestCategories($list->id);

    // Output the names of the list's interest categories.
    if (!empty($interests) && isset($interests->categories)) {
      foreach ($interests->categories as $category) {
        echo "Interest category: {$category->title}\n";
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing

This library includes a PHPUnit test suite.

Running PHPUnit tests

Add Composer's vendor directory to your PATH by adding the following line to your profile. This is dependent on your system, but on a Linux or Mac OSX system using Bash, you'll typically find the file at ~/.bash_profile.

export PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"

Bash example:

echo 'export PATH="./vendor/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Then run PHPUnit:

phpunit
