How to delete a member from a list?

[gregblass]

Hey there!

I'm not sure if this changed recently in the MailChimp API, but sending a delete request when removing a subscriber from a list seems to just archived them: https://mailchimp.com/developer/reference/lists/list-members/

The last tab there says 'actions' - 'delete permanent' - however I'm having trouble mapping that to a gibbon request:

POST /lists/{list_id}/members/{subscriber_hash}/actions/delete-permanent

How would that look?

Edit: I looked at their doc and actually I think they did it sensibly? What have you tried? Hyphens map to underscores, and HTTP verbs map to the verbs in the read me 1 to 1.

It ended up being .actions(‘delete-permanent’).create Replying from my phone but you can close this!

Gotcha. Does .actions.delete_permanent.create() work?

@amro @gregblass
I can confirm that .actions.delete_permanent.create
permanently deletes. Glad this issue was here, that would have taken me awhile considering Mailchimp's api doc's still say to just send a DELETE 🤷

Thanks for confirming!
