How to create list member with ADDRESS using Mailchimp API v3

The ADDRESS is a Merge Field but the documentation (http://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/lists/members/) is not clear on how to pass it to the API, since it has sub fields for street, zip, city etc. Does anybody have an example how to do this?

You can create your own Address Class and assign it as follows

  public class Address
    {
        [JsonProperty("addr1")]
        public string Address1 { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("addr2")]
        public string Address2 { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("city")]
        public string City { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("state")]
        public string State { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("zip")]
        public string Zip { get; set; }

        [JsonProperty("country")]
        public string Country { get; set; }

    }

     var address = new Address()
                                {
                                    Address1 = "1 Main Street,
                                    Address2 = "",
                                    City = "Brooklyn",
                                    State = "NY",
                                    Zip = "11299",
                                    Country = "US"
                                };

member.MergeFields["ADDRESS"] = address;

It works for me (php)

$address = new stdClass();
$address->addr1 = $customer->address;
$address->city = $customer->city;
$address->state = $customer->state;
$address->zip = $customer->zip;
$address->country = $customer->country;

$options = [
    'status' => 'subscribed',
    'email_address' => $customer->email,
    'merge_fields' => [
        'FNAME'=> $customer->first_name,
        'LNAME'=> $customer->last_name,
        'PHONE' => $customer->phone,
        'ADDRESS' => $address,
    ]
];
...
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,json_encode($options));
...

Just in case someone runs into the same problem.

I created my own address-class and tried to set the ADDRESS-MergeField to a JSON-string as follows:

member.MergeFields["ADDRESS"] = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(MyAddressObject);

This does not set the address, but also returns no error.

One need to assign a Dictionary<string, object> instead:

var adr = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "addr1", "123 Whatever" },
    { "addr2", "" },
    { "city", "New York" },
    { "state", "NY" },
    { "zip", "12345" },
    { "country", "US" }
};

member.MergeFields["ADDRESS"] = adr;

Python answer

I was getting error's because address line 1 was empty. Here's a copy and paste code that works:

added_user= {}
added_user.update({'email_address': "[email protected]"})
#status options: "subscribed", "unsubscribed", "cleaned", "pending", or "transactional"
added_user.update({'status': 'subscribed'})
address_dict = {
            "addr1": "line 1",
            "addr2": "made up address",
            "city": "Kirkland",
            "state": "WA",
            "zip": "12345",
            "country": "US",
            "language": "en"
        }

added_user.update({'merge_fields':{ 'FNAME': "Corona",'LNAME': "Virus", 'ADDRESS':address_dict}})
client.lists.members.create(list_id=list_id,data=added_user)

Merge fields can pass like this:

'FNAME' => $contact->first_name,
'LNAME' => $contact->last_name,
'ADDRESS' => (Object)[
        'addr1' => $contact->fulladdress,
        //'addr2' => $contact->address2,
        'city' => $contact->city,
        'state' => $contact->state_region,
        'zip' => $contact->zip_postal_code,
        'country' => $contact->country->shortcode,
        'language' => $contact->language->code,
 ],

This JSON works:

{
  "addr1" : "first line",
  "addr2" : "second line",
  "city" : "city",
  "state": "state",
  "zip": "zip code",
  "country": "country"
}

It's documented in schema here: https://us1.api.mailchimp.com/schema/3.0/Lists/Members/MergeField.json
