Show List Definitions

**Coming end of January 2018**

The Show List Definitions command allows you to return a list of List Definitions in your realm. This command returns the list definition id and name of each list definition in the realm. Show List Definitions requires the following arguments: Command, Realm, and Password.

api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=getlistdefinitions

The command is ‘getlistdefinitions’, the realm is ‘myrealm’ and the password is ‘mypass’.

Example

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

api_web?r=myrealm&p=mypass&c=getlistdefinitions&verbose=0&output_format=csv&headers=1

Successful results return:

"List Definition ID","List Definition Name","Description","Folder ID","Lists Defined"
"10","mylistdefinition","","2","(mylist_1,mylist_2,mylist_3)"
"15","automationdefinition","use for automation","5","(welcome,welcome_1,welcome_2)"

If a Description is not defined for a list, it will appear blank or empty in the results.

Results

The Show List Definitions command outputs either the results of the search or a FAILURE message.

Success

The Show List Definitions command does not explicitly return a Success code. Instead, it outputs the list definition id and name in plain text format. Use the output_format argument to return the following data in an alternate format.

Non-verbose results include:

"List Definition ID","List Definition Name","Description","Folder ID","Lists Defined"

Verbose results include:

"List Definition ID","List Definition Name","Description","Folder ID","Lists Defined","Template","AccountProfileId","From Address","Reply To Address","Bounce Address","AdminEmail","ConfirmSubs","ConfirmMessageFrom","ConfirmMessageTemplateId","ConfirmMessageFormat","SendCourtesySubsEmail","CourtesyJoinFrom","SubscribeEmailTemplateId","CourtesyJoinFormat","SendCourtesyUnsubsEmail","CourtesyLeaveFrom","UnsubscribeEmailTemplateId","CourtesyLeaveFormat","DefaultAutomation","DefaultAutomationCampaignId","ConfirmationSubGoto","ConfirmationUnsubGoto","Track Clicks","Track Opens","BaseUrlId","Vmta","FtafCustomFormUrl","FtafCustomEnvelopeUrl","FtafLandingPage","FtafErrorLandingPage","FtafAnonymous","FtafUseListFromAddress","DedupeOnSend","WorkflowApproval","WorkflowApprovalList","ListUnsubscribeHeaderEnabled","UnsubHeaderHttpValue","UnsubHeaderEmailValue","UseStickyCampaign","SetDataMacroId"
