After reading through Mailchimps I could not find a definite answer... Is it possible to use Mailchimp's API to subscribe emails to a user's account, and not my own?

I imagine this would work like so:

  1. A user of my web app grants access to their MailChimp account
  2. My webapp can then add email to the user's email lists

When using the API you need the API key and credentials to access your account. If someone else shares their credentials with you, there is nothing stopping you API-ing into their account.

In other words, once you have permission, there is nothing you can do in the API on your own account, that you couldn't do to a different account.

In short, yes it's possible.

All you'll need is the API key supplied by the user. You'll then use the API to create a list and use the that list's "list_id" in conjunction with the API key to add subscribers to the list created.

I'm busy working on adding users to a pre-existing list. I'm stuck on adding the API key to my call to Mailchimp but you may want to follow my question in the event I find an answer to it.
