managecontactslists , important about mailjet-apiv3-java

Hi @sicoa,

Thanks for reaching out here again. We're glad to see you're exploring deeper and deeper our API.

About your first question, have you already visited the dedicated section for this method in our API guides? It's here http://dev.mailjet.com/guides/#managecontactslists

About your second question, can you post the full code (adding formatting, thanks to Github flavoured Markdown). Here, I'm missing the part where you're actually execute the request via client.post(request).

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply Mr Breton

I would like to see how to use the java wrapper for these functions.
Maybe i am doing something wrong.
The client.post(request) is the exact next line :) I just omitted it considering the call granted, my bad.

Request:
{"Action":"","Filters":"{}","Action ID":0,"Resource":"contact","ID":1504485533,"Body":"{"ContactsLists":[{"Action":"addforce","ListID":"1"}]}"}
Response
{"Status":405,"ErrorInfo":"","ErrorMessage":"Method not allowed","StatusCode":405}

Code (is this correctly stated?):

request = new MailjetRequest(Contact.resource, id)
                                    .property(ContactManagecontactslists.CONTACTSLISTS, new JSONArray()
                                            .put(new JSONObject()
                                                    .put("ListID", listsArray[i])
                                                    .put("Action", action)));
response = cl.post(request);

@sicoa, you're welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to format it correctly, appreciated!

After digging deeper here, I've figured out what's going wrong here: the resource to invoke here is not Contact but ContactManagecontactslists. This code snippet to build the request object should then work better:

request = new MailjetRequest(ContactManagecontactslists.resource, ID)
                .property(ContactManagecontactslists.CONTACTSLISTS, new JSONArray()
                                 .put(new JSONObject()
                                         .put("ListID", "ListID_1")
                                         .put("Action", "addnoforce"))
                                 .put(new JSONObject()
                                        .put("ListID", "ListID_2")
                                        .put("Action", "addforce")));

Please let us know how this works for you!

Best,
Arnaud.

It did work alright!
It needs the ID of the contact referring to ContactManagecontactslists.resource. That was the missing piece. I suppose this line of thought applies to the rest of the similar calls.
Thank you very much for your accurate help.
Best wishes

@sicoa, glad to hear it works!

Yes, the general logic of our wrapper is to consider action endpoints (like here /contact/:id/managecontactslists as a resource. This logic can indeed be applied to the other available resources' actions.

Best,
Arnaud.
