Given a list, how do I obtain the groups for it and the subscribe to them?

I have a list. That has multiple groups and each group has 2-3 groups. I want to get the first group and then the next group and subscribe to that. How can I obtain this with this api?

Here's what I've found...

first you can grab the interest groupings by doing something like this (see: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/interest-groupings.php):

groupings_id = MAILCHIMP.lists.interest_groupings(id: ENV['MAILCHIMP_LIST_ID']).first["id"]

then you would do an updateMember and set the proper merge_vars...

    options = {
      "id" => 12345, # this is the list id
      "email" => {
        "email" => "example@email.com"
      },
      "merge_vars" => {
        "groupings" => [
          {
          "id" => groupings_id,
          "groups" => ['myGroup']
          }
        ]
      },
      "replace_interests" => 'true'
    }
    MAILCHIMP.lists.updateMember(options)

(see: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/update-member.php)

hope that gets you started at least...
