CiviMail and REST

[piotr]

Hello everybody, that's my first post here.
Is there a way to access Mailer functions (subscribe/unsubscribe/...) through the REST interface?
If I understand well only v2 functions are exported to REST and Mailer API is not there. 

Or maybe there is a better way to access those functions from an external website?

If this is about adding a user to a group, you'll need to use the contact create API and the add user to group API (two calls), The group being your newsletter group

Does it answer your question ?

Thank you for your answer, but I'm afraid it doesn't answer my question.
Mailer API does much more than just create a contact and add it to a group - all the double opt logic, email confirmations, etc. is there.
But let me change my question a little bit.
/api/Mailer.php is just an adapter to /CRM/Mailing/Event/BAO/*.php functions and is rather simply, is there a reason why it's not converted to v2?

Hi,

Ok, thanks for clarifying, that's indeed different functions.

I don't think there is a better reason that "no one needed it". And the v2 was more focussed on the CRUD first. Would you be up to the task of creating the new api ?

Also, the api v2 tries to get 100% code coverage testing, not rocket science, and a good way of being sure that it does what you want to, and easily spot regressions, would you be willing to try doing that as well ?

P.S. IRC is the right place to discuss about that, you might have questions and so on

OK, I probably can do both.

Thanks,
