I'm using a simple code to add new leads to my mailchimp account. It worked perfect a few times and then I tried again 10 minutes later and it stopped working.
Is there some sort of API limit or something?
// MailChimp API URL
$memberID = md5(strtolower($email));
$dataCenter = substr($apiKey,strpos($apiKey,'-')+1);
$url = 'https://' . $dataCenter . '.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/' . $listID . '/members/' . $memberID;
// member information
$json = json_encode([
'email_address' => $email,
'status' => 'subscribed',
'merge_fields' => [
'FNAME' => $fname,
'LNAME' => $lname
]
]);
// send a HTTP POST request with curl
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'user:' . $apiKey);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
