Adding emails without opt in with Mailchimps API

Question

i wrote before about passing email data with mailchimps API, Now i kind of learned how to use its API to send data with an example they gave in its documentation, but the method they use listSubscribe() its even written in their documentation "you will not see new members until the link contained in it is clicked!" Link to listsubscribe() doc

Anyone know either a work around to allow adding subscribers without this opt in function, or is not even allowed, i am already looking in its documentation but no success, i wrote to them today, but i guess they all take a few days to answer. has anyone hassled with this already? Thanks

Answer 1

Well in order to take out the default opt-in function which sends the user a confirmation email instead of the emails going directly to ur email DB just put $double_optin=false by default it was $double_optin=true (on the MCAPI.class.php gile) Its that easy, hope this helps for beginner API users like myself.
