Mailchimp API 2.0 and Objective-C

Question

I need to use the Mailchimp API v2 from an iOS App. I see that there is not an Objective-C wrapper at the moment and I'm bit confused.

I can't understand how to proceed to use the API from iOS. I know how to create Mailchimp keys and how to setup my list, I need to understand how to perform calls from the Phone to the MailChimp server.

Here my doubts:

• If I perform a simple HTTP call from the device, users could spoof data and "steal" my key and access every email in the list (Am I wrong?)

• I can't understand if there is an authentication process to perform before sending the http request. The documentation doesn't speak about oAuth to be able to use the API.

Answer 1

The new version of ChimpKit for iOS, ChimpKit3 is an Objective-C wrapper for MailChimp API 2.0. It supports OAuth2 as well.

Here is the OAuth2 documentation of Mailchimp API: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/oauth2/
