Get Lists from List Definition

The Get Lists from List Definitions command allows you to return a list of all Lists created based off the properties of the List Definitions specified. This command returns the list id and name of each list created from the definition, sorted alphabetically by list id. Get Lists from List Definitions requires the following arguments: Command, Realm, Password, and either List Definition name or ID.

api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=getlistsfromdefinition&list_definition_id=42

The command is ‘getlistsfromdefinition’, the realm is ‘myrealm’ and the password is ‘mypass’ and definition with id 42 is returned.
