Active Campaign Service

Active Campaign is a marketing manage tool that enable us sent email to clients. There are two API version are using in their system which are V1 and V2.

In our backend, Active Campaign SDK for .net core3.0 above still using v1 API. Main feature still provided by v1. However, some feature cannot found in v1, we have go to v2 restful API.

Here is the sample code for v1 API:

public async Task<ApiResult> CreateActiveCampaignContact(string email,string first_name, string last_name)
{
    var client = new ActiveCampaignClient(ActiveCampaignKey, ActiveCampaignBaseUrl);
    var result = client.ApiAsync("contact_add", new Dictionary<string, string>
        {
            {"email", email},
            {"first_name", first_name},
            {"last_name", last_name},
            {"p[3]", "1"},
            {"status[3]", "1"},
        });
    return await result;
}

If you have to use v2 API which is not supported by SDK, here is the sample code for v1 Restful API:

public async Task<JObject> GetActiveCampaignActivitiesByContactId(int id)
{

    var client = new ActiveCampaignClient(ActiveCampaignKey, ActiveCampaignBaseUrl);
    var active_campaign_id = await _context.Contacts.FirstOrDefaultAsync(i => i.Id == id);

    if (active_campaign_id != null)
    {

        var active_campaign_id_str = active_campaign_id.ActiveCampaignId.ToString();
        var parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        parameters["contact"] = active_campaign_id_str;
        parameters["include"] = "notes,notes.user,reference,reference.campaign,reference.contactList,reference.contactList.list,reference.link,reference.list,reference.log,reference.log.campaign,reference.log.contact,reference.log.message.name,reference.message.name,reference.note";
        parameters["orders[tstamp]"] = "desc";
        parameters["limit"] = "100";
        var par = new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters);

        var ActiveCampaignUrl = ActiveCampaignBaseUrl + "/api/3/activities?" + par.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

        using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
        {
            using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("GET"), ActiveCampaignUrl))
            {

                request.Headers.Add("API-TOKEN", ActiveCampaignKey);
                request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Accept", "application/json");

                var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);


                //Console.WriteLine(response);
                string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
                var result = JObject.Parse(responseBody);

                return result;
            }
        }

    }

    else return null;

}
