API: HTTP Report Unsubscribes
The Report Unsubscribe method allows you to return all unsubscribe events tracked for a specific list or campaign.
Arguments
The Report Unsubscribe command requires the following arguments: Command, Realm, Password, and Campaign ID or List ID.
api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=rpt_unsubscribe&list_id=5
The command is ‘show_user_events’, the realm is ‘myrealm’ and the password is ‘mypass’. The events to return are associated to list id='5'.
api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=rpt_unsubscribe&campaign_id=11
The events to return are those specific to the campaign with id='11'.
A successful search will return a list of contacts that have unsubscribed from a list.
The Report Unsubscribe command supports the following arguments:

To specify the format of the list output, use one of two arguments. If no argument is included, the default output is space-delimited plain text string, which may not include all data columns. |
csv=1 or output_format=[csv,csv_tab, csv_pipe,xml] |

Example
Using all commands and arguments (please note the command is wrapped for display purposes only):
api_web?c=rpt_unsubscribe&r=myrealm&p=mypass&list_id=5&unique=1&output_format=csv&headers=1
Successful results return:
"email","first_name","last_name","event_date","campaign_id","list_id" "jane@domain.com","Jane","Doe","2012-10-23 17:10:16","11","5" "john@domain.com","John","Doe","2012-10-24 13:46:03","11","5"
Some systems have the ability to define a unique Customer Key per contact. If your realm has Customer Key enabled, and additional column "customer_key" will be included in the results.
Results
The Report Unsubscribe command outputs either the results of the search or a FAILURE message.
SUCCESS
The Report Contact Events command does not explicitly return a Success code. Instead, it outputs the email, first name, last name, event date, campaign id, and list id in plain text format. Use the output_format argument to return the results in an alternate format.
FAILURE
A Report Unsubscribe command will fail for several reasons, such as if the list or campaign doesn't exist. The result format is:
FAILURE: [Reason]
