No OpenAPI file or public status page was found, passcodes carry no scopes, and the docs say campaigns created through the API are not restricted by role-based access control.\n\n**Mailchimp Marketing API.** A public OpenAPI 3.1 file covers all 297 operations, every docs page has a Markdown copy, and responses can be trimmed with `fields`. An API key carries full account access with no read-only option. The quick start's TypeScript package was not on npm on 8 October 2026, and the changelog's newest entry is 19 August 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CleverTap\n\n1. Call the host for the account's region, such as `in1.api.clevertap.com` or `us1.api.clevertap.com`. `api.clevertap.com` is the Europe region\n2. Send `X-CleverTap-Account-Id` and `X-CleverTap-Passcode` headers on every call, and ask for a named passcode with an expiry date\n3. Check `status` in the body as well as the HTTP code. Get User Profiles can answer 200 with `\"status\":\"fail\"` when throttled\n4. Add `dryRun=1` to an upload URL to validate up to 1,000 records without storing them\n5. Set `estimate_only` or `draft` to true on Create Campaign before a real send. API campaigns bypass dashboard role restrictions\n\n### Mailchimp Marketing API\n\n1. Send the key or OAuth token as `Authorization: Bearer` to `https://api.mailchimp.com/3.0/`. Treat it as full account access and keep it server-side\n2. Address a contact by the MD5 hash of the lowercase email address, and use PUT on `/lists/{list_id}/members/{subscriber_hash}` so a retry does not create a duplicate\n3. Ask a person before POST `/campaigns/{campaign_id}/actions/send`. Read `/campaigns/{campaign_id}/send-checklist` and use `actions/test` first\n4. Keep to 10 concurrent requests per user, and send large jobs to `/batches`. A 429 names no wait time, so back off and retry\n5. Add `fields=` to every list call and set `count` (default 10, maximum 1,000) with `offset`\n6. Set `is_syncing` to true when loading historical events so they do not trigger automations\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CleverTap or Mailchimp Marketing API?\n\nMailchimp Marketing API scores 57.4 (C) on agent readiness against CleverTap's 48.8 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. CleverTap leads on security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do CleverTap and Mailchimp Marketing API need an API key?\n\nCleverTap needs an API key.
