This method returns recipients for a given contact list. You must have access to the list to carry out operations on it.


Parameters:


  • id - list identifier required in one of the two following formats:
    • integer - the list id as a numeric value, this can be found by requesting 'contact-lists.get' and using corresponding id values from the dataset
      OR
    • string - the list name EXACTLY as it is in the 'contact-lists.get' response.
  • offset - integer - used to specify where to start reading from in the data set - 0 being the first item.
  • limit - integer - used to specify maximum number of records to return. 0 disables any limit but should only be used for small data sets.
  • status (optional) - enum (active, deleted, opt-out) - used to specify status of recipients to return.
