description Mailchimp API Overview
The Mailchimp API provides developers with programmatic access to Mailchimp’s marketing automation platform.

help Mailchimp API FAQ
What can developers do with the Mailchimp API?
The Mailchimp API can be used to manage audiences, contacts, campaigns, segments, and automation-related data from an application. It is useful when a website or customer system needs to exchange marketing data with Mailchimp programmatically.
Which API version is commonly used for Mailchimp integrations?
Mailchimp's modern REST API is commonly referred to as API version 3.0. Developers should still check the current endpoint documentation because authentication, resources, and product features can change.
Can the Mailchimp API add subscribers from a website?
Yes, an application can create or update audience contacts through the API when it has the required permissions. The integration must handle consent, email status, duplicate addresses, and error responses instead of blindly adding every form submission.
How is Mailchimp API authentication handled?
Mailchimp integrations can use an API key or OAuth depending on the integration type and account setup. API keys should remain on a server, not inside browser JavaScript where visitors could copy them.
