Subscribers

List subscribers

Returns a cursor-paginated list of subscribers in the account. By default only active subscribers are returned — use status (active, inactive, bounced, complained, cancelled, or all) to widen the search. Look a subscriber up by exact email_address, filter by created_after/created_before and updated_after/updated_before, and sort with sort_field (id, updated_at, or cancelled_at) and sort_order.

Use include (comma-separated: attribution, tags, location, canceled_at) to embed extra fields on each subscriber — including canceled_at without status=cancelled returns a 422. Set slim=true to omit the fields object (custom field values) for a faster, smaller response.

For engagement-based searches (opens, clicks, sends), use Filter subscribers by engagement instead.

Query Parameters

after

string | null

To fetch next page of results, use ?after=<end_cursor>

before

string | null

To fetch previous page of results, use ?before=<start_cursor>

created_after

string

Filter subscribers who have been created after this date (format yyyy-mm-dd)

created_before

string

Filter subscribers who have been created before this date (format yyyy-mm-dd)

email_address

string

include

string

Comma-separated list of additional fields to include on each subscriber. Valid options: attribution, tags, location, canceled_at. canceled_at may only be used together with status=cancelled.

include_total_count

boolean

Set to true to include the total_count in the response. This option can cause slow responses; if paging through results, request it only on the first page and reuse the value for subsequent pages.

per_page

number | null

Number of results per page. Default 500, maximum 1000.

slim

boolean

When true, omits expensive optional fields from the response. Produces a faster, smaller response — useful when extra fields are not needed.

sort_field

string

sort_order

enum<string>

Available options:

asc,

desc

status

enum<string>

Filter subscribers who have this status (active, inactive, bounced, complained, cancelled or all). Defaults to active.

Available options:

active,

inactive,

bounced,

complained,

cancelled,

all

updated_after

string

Filter subscribers who have been updated after this date (format yyyy-mm-dd)

updated_before

string

Filter subscribers who have been updated before this date (format yyyy-mm-dd)

Response

Returns subscriber attribution, tags, and primary location when requested via the include param
