PHP Example
This is an example of using the campaign_create call with PHP. You can replicate the same idea in virtually any other programming language. The example shown is using serialize as the output format. You can change that to XML or JSON if you would like.
<?php
// By default, this sample code is designed to get the result from your installation and print out the result
$url = 'http://account.api-us1.com';
$params = array(
// the API Key can be found on the "Your Settings" page under the "API" tab.
// replace this with your API Key
'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
// this is the action that creates a campaign
'api_action' => 'campaign_create',
// define the type of output you wish to get back
// possible values:
// - 'xml' : you have to write your own XML parser
// - 'json' : data is returned in JSON format and can be decoded with
// json_decode() function (included in PHP since 5.2.0)
// - 'serialize' : data is returned in a serialized format and can be decoded with
// a native unserialize() function
'api_output' => 'serialize',
);
// here we define the data we are posting in order to perform an update
$post = array(
'type' => 'single', // campaign type (defaults to single)

// setting this value to all will let the system know to fetch, parse, and track all emails it finds in both TEXT and HTML body
