PHP Example

The following script demonstrates how to use this method. Because we use the CopernicaRestApi class, you don't have to worry about escaping special characters in the URL; it is done automatically.

// dependencies
require_once('copernica_rest_api.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 3);

// parameters to pass to the call
$parameters = array(
    'limit'             => 10,
    'type'              => 'mass',
    'followups'         => 'no',
    'registerclicks'    => 'yes',
);

// do the call, and print result
print_r($api->get("publisher/emailings", $parameters));

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
