I have tried to follow your code in the video pasted below (with dummy api key and center number for obvious reasons :))
curl -H "Authorization: apikey 000000000000000-usXX" -d '{"email_address":"newemail@example.com","status":"pending","merge_fields":{"FNAME":"test","LNAME":"Treehouse"}}' https://usXX.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/0000avb1c2/members
I am using windows cmd to do this and I get this as an error:
{"type":"http://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/guides/error-glossary/","title":"Invalid Resource","status":400,"detail":"The resource submitted could not be validated. For field-specific details, see the 'errors' array.","instance":"94389ad8-aac6-4d86-9520-e6cc447cfbf0","errors":[{"field":"","message":"Schema describes object, NULL found instead"}]}
I don't understand why this isn't working. Is this course so old that the way to create new member using the API is outdated?
