PHP MailChimp Campaign CSV Parser

I’ve worked with MailChimp a lot in past and current projects. My biggest compliant is they’re lack of detailed reports and overly restrictive API usage limits. A common problem I’ve had is extrapolating data from they’re campaign CSV reports — I do this because you can pull more data from the downloaded CSV at one time than the API. A long list of campaign details is useless to marketers if they can’t easy consume, comprehend and make quick decisions off the data. That’s where the MailChimp Campaign CSV Parser PHP library comes in.

Usage

The MailChimp Campaign CSV Parser PHP library is pretty straightforward to use. All you need is a MailChimp Campaign report that can be downloaded from your MailChimp account under ‘Campaigns‘ > ‘Reports‘.

Once you’ve downloaded the CSV report, download the MailChimp Campaign CSV Parser PHP library then initialize and configure the library like below:

[php]/**
* Include the MailChimp Report Generator class.
*/
require_once( ‘lib/MailChimp_Campaign_CSV_Parser.class.php’ );

// Initialize the MailChimp Report Generator class.
$MC = new MailChimp_Campaign_CSV_Parser;

// Get data from the MailChimp Report Generator class.
$MC->config[‘mailchimp_campaign_export_file’] = ‘reports/report.csv’;

/**
* Select the industry that relates to the email campaigns
*/
$MC->config[‘industry’] = $industry;

// Get and parse the first 500 campaigns.
$MC->parse_campaign_export( $limit );
$data = $MC->array;[/php]

See the README file for more configuration options. Parsed array includes the following info:
