Mailchimp首先验证用户电子邮件

Question

I use Laravel 5 to develop an app and I use Mailchimp for adding subscription. I use Mailchimp v.3 . I can make a list using this code:

               $mailchimp = new Mailchimp(xxxxxxxxxxxx-xx);
               $contact = [
                    'company' => $request['campaign'],
                    'address1' => $request['address'],
                    'city' => $request['city'],
                    'state' => $candidate->userCandidate->state,
                    'zip' => $request['zip'],
                    'country' => $request['country'],
                    'phone' => $request['phone'],
                ];

                $campaign_details = [
                    'from_name' => $request['from_name'],
                    'from_email' => $request['from_email'],
                    'subject' => $request['remind_text'],
                    'language' => 'English'
                ];

                $data = [
                    'name' => Auth::user()->name . ' Campaign',
                    'contact' => $contact,
                    'permission_reminder' => $request['remind_text'],
                    'campaign_defaults' => $campaign_details,
                    'notify_on_subscribe' => $request['from_email'],
                    'notify_on_unsubscribe' => $request['from_email'],
                    'email_type_option' => false,
                    'visibility' => $request['visibility'],

                ];

                $list = $mailchimp->post('lists', $data);

I use this library drewm/mailchimp. My code on subscribing is this:

$mailchimp = new Mailchimp($api_key);
  $subscriber = [
    'email_type' => 'html',
    'email_address' => $email,
    'language' => 'English',
    'status' => 'subscribed',
    'merge_fields' => ['zip' => $zip]
  ];

  $result = $mailchimp->post('lists/' . $list_id . '/members', $subscriber);

And I can successfully subscribe it. This is my question how to verify an email first before will be recorded on mailchimp list to avoid spammer. I read on mailchimp that they have DOUBLE OPT-IN method but it is only available if you use their form.

My solution is to email first on subscriber and create a link for verifying and this solution can take time. Is there another solution on this? Does Mailchimp have method to acquire this?

I don't have any idea on Mailchimp API. However, you just have to set up an email validation flow first. In this way, all emails will not be considered as "spam" in your records. Then you're free to do any email tasks without worrying if it is valid or not.
