Use Mailchimp API

Question

I would like to use the Mailchimp Node.js API in my Parse Cloud Hosting to subscribe to the mailing list. Parse does not support NPM, but given that the Mailchimp API has no dependencies, I thought I could copy the code into my project. However, the Mailchimp API uses the https module, which Parse does not support.

Does anyone know about this?

Answer 1

I was not able to directly use the Mailchimp API, but the REST API is pretty easy to use.

main.js . API URL- REST, - Mailchimp (http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/)

var mailchimpApiKey = "<<REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY>>";

Parse.Cloud.define("SubscribeUserToMailingList", function(request, response) {

  if (!request.params ||
        !request.params.email){
    response.error("Must supply email address, firstname and lastname to Mailchimp signup");
    return;
  }

  var mailchimpData = {
    apikey  : mailchimpApiKey,
    id      : request.params.listid,
    email   : {
      email : request.params.email
    },
    merge_vars : request.params.mergevars
  }

  var url = "https://<<REPLACE_WITH_DATA_CENTRE>>.api.mailchimp.com/2.0/lists/subscribe.json";

  Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
    method: 'POST',
    url: url,
    body: JSON.stringify(mailchimpData),
    success: function(httpResponse) {
      console.log(httpResponse.text);

      response.success("Successfully subscribed");
    },
    error: function(httpResponse) {
      console.error('Request failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
      console.error(httpResponse.text);

      response.error('Mailchimp subscribe failed with response code ' + httpResponse.status);
    }
  });

});

, ... ( )

Parse.Cloud.run("SubscribeUserToMailingList", {
    listid      : "<<REPLACE_WITH_LIST_ID>>",
    email       : email,
    mergevars   : {
        FNAME   : firstName,
        LNAME   : lastName
    }
})
.then(function(success){
    console.log("Successfully subscribed");
    // ...
},
function(error){
    console.log("Unable to subscribe");
    // ...
});
