API: HTTP Get Test Count

The Get Test Count command allows you to determine the number of contacts that match a combination of List, Segmentation Rule, Suppression List. The command requires the following arguments: Command, Realm, Password, and List ID.

api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=gettestcountfordeployment&list_id=5

The command is ‘gettestcountfordeployment’, the realm is ‘myrealm’ and the password is ‘mypass’, returning the number of contacts in list '5'.

Example

Using all commands and arguments (please note the command is wrapped for display purposes only):

api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=gettestcountfordeployment&list_id=5&segmentation_id=3&suppression_list=my%20suppression

Successful results return the total number of contacts in the List with the Segmentation and Suppression applied:

SUCCESS: 668
