gibbon

Gibbon is a simple API wrapper for interacting with MailChimp API 1.3.

##Installation

$ gem install gibbon

##Requirements

A MailChimp account and API key. You can see your API keys here.

##Usage

Create an instance of the API wrapper:

gb = Gibbon::API.new(api_key)

Fetching data is as simple as calling API methods directly on the wrapper object. Check the API documentation for details.

Fetching Campaigns

For example, to fetch your first 100 campaigns (page 0):

campaigns = gb.campaigns({:start => 0, :limit => 100})

Fetching Lists

Similarly, to fetch your first 100 lists:

lists = gb.lists({:start => 0, :limit=> 100})

More Advanced Examples

Getting batch member information for subscribers looks like this:

info = gb.list_member_info({:id => list_id, :email_address => email_array})

or

info = gb.listMemberInfo({:id => list_id, :email_address => email_array})

Fetch open and click detail for recipients of a particular campaign:

email_stats = gb.campaign_email_stats_aim({:cid => campaign_id, :email_address => email_array})

or

email_stats = gb.campaignEmailStatsAIM({:cid => campaign_id, :email_address => email_array})

Other Stuff

Gibbon defaults to a 30 second timeout. You can optionally set your own timeout (in seconds) like so:

gb.timeout = 5
