Mailchimp

Mailchimp is an all-in-one marketing platform that helps businesses manage and talk to their clients, customers, and other interested parties through email marketing campaigns, automated messages, and targeted ads.

ingestr supports Mailchimp as a source.

URI format

The URI format for Mailchimp is as follows:

mailchimp://?api_key=<api-key>&server=<server-prefix>

URI parameters:

• api_key: The API key used for authentication with the Mailchimp API
• server: The server prefix for your Mailchimp account (e.g., us10, us19)

The URI is used to connect to the Mailchimp API for extracting data.

Setting up a Mailchimp Integration

To get your Mailchimp API credentials:

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account
2. Navigate to Account → Extras → API keys
3. Create a new API key or use an existing one
4. Note your server prefix from your API key (the part after the dash, e.g., us10 from xxxxx-us10)

Once you have your credentials, here's a sample command that will copy the data from Mailchimp into a DuckDB database:

ingestr ingest --source-uri 'mailchimp://?api_key=your_api_key&server=us10' --source-table 'campaigns' --dest-uri duckdb:///mailchimp.duckdb --dest-table 'mailchimp.campaigns'

The result of this command will be a table in the mailchimp.duckdb database.
