Refer to Mailchimp's API documentation (opens in a new tab) for more information about the service.
Using API key
To configure this credential, you'll need:
- An API Key: Generate an API key in the API keys section (opens in a new tab) of your Mailchimp account. Refer to Mailchimp's Generate your API key documentation (opens in a new tab) for more detailed instructions.
Using OAuth2
If you need to configure OAuth2 from scratch, register an application (opens in a new tab). Refer to the Mailchimp OAuth2 documentation (opens in a new tab) for more information.
Selecting an authentication method
Mailchimp suggests using an API key if you're only accessing your own Mailchimp account's data:
Use an API key if you're writing code that tightly couples your application's data to your Mailchimp account's data. If you ever need to access someone else's Mailchimp account's data, you should be using OAuth 2 (source (opens in a new tab))
