How to get plain text response from subscribe API

macks · June 2019

Hi,

I'm using the Sendy API (Sendy Version 3.1.1) from node.js with axios. The code looks like this:

const response = await axios.post(
    "xxx",
    querystring.stringify({
        list: "xxx",
        email,
        gdpr: true
    }),
    { headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" } }
);

If I check response.data, the response I get is always in HTML format (not plain text). For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
        <head>
                <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
                <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
                <link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="xxx">
                <title>Thank you, a confirmation email has been sent to you.</title>
        </head>
        <style type="text/css">
                body{
                        background: #ffffff;
                        font-family: Helvetica, Arial;
                }
                #wrapper
                {
                        background: #f9f9f9;

                        width: 300px;
                        height: 70px;

                        margin: -140px 0 0 -150px;
                        position: absolute;
                        top: 50%;
                        left: 50%;
                        -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
                        -moz-border-radius: 5px;
                        border-radius: 5px;
                }
                p{
                        text-align: center;
                }
                h2{
                        font-weight: normal;
                        text-align: center;
                }
                a{
                        color: #000;
                }
                a:hover{
                        text-decoration: none;
                }
                #top-pattern{
                        margin-top: -8px;
                        height: 8px;
                        background: url("xxx") repeat-x 0 0;
                        background-size: auto 8px;
                }
        </style>
        <body>
                <div id="top-pattern"></div>
                <div id="wrapper">
                        <h2><span style="font-size: 20px;padding:10px;float:left;margin-top:-18px;">Thank you, a confirmation email has been sent to you.</span></h2>
                </div>
        </body>
</html>

Is there any way I can get a plaintext response so that I can easily check the error messages?

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Max

Hi,

Pass boolean = true into the subscribe API call.

From the API doc:

Thanks.

Best regards,
