Research on how to integrate Nod

Today we did the research on how to integrate Node.js with Mailchimp RESTful API.

We've created a account and got a API_KEY:07387b34ddfakea3e4511b60f3e0e-us19

Here is the sample code to get the members in a specified list:

//index.js
const https = require('https');
const fs = require('fs');

const listId = '2c51d1ee79'
const options = {
    hostname: 'us19.api.mailchimp.com',
    path: `/3.0/lists/${listId}/members`,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Basic 07387b34ddfakea3e4511b60f3e0e-us19',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
};

const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
    console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
    console.log('headers:', res.headers);

    res.on('data', (d) => {
        process.stdout.write(d);
        fs.writeFile('message.js', d, (err) => {
            if (err) throw err;
            console.log('The file has been saved!');
        });
    });
});

req.on('error', (e) => {
    console.error(e);
});
req.end();

Then executed the nodejs file,

$ node index.js

and got:

            "method": "POST"
        }]
    }]
}
// Omitted the followings

This is all about the GET method, and we can

Add a new list member by POST /lists/{list_id}/members ,

Update a list member by PATCH /lists/{list_id}/members/{subscriber_hash}

the API documentation is here: https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/lists/members/#%20

We'll do a further research on it.
