Example

The package currently has only one function fetch_mailchimpR which will return a data.frame provided that all of the arguments are supplied to it:

• your API key,
• date range, (starting and ending date)
• and fields you require.

Running:

library(mailchimpR)

my_mailchimp_data <-
  fetch_mailchimp(api_key = "your api key",
           date_from = Sys.Date()-100,
           date_to = Sys.Date(),
           fields = c("campaign", "clicks",
                      "spend", "impressions", "date")) 

'data.frame':   14 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ campaign   : chr  "retageting APAC" "retargeting UK&CO" "retageting APAC" "retargeting UK&CO" ...
 $ clicks     : num  4 0 5 7 0 0 4 2 3 0 ...
