Day van Kooten on "[Plugin: MailChimp for WordPress] Possible to get IP adress of Mailchimps server?"

Hi Joshua,

Yes, to get the IP address of your MailChimp server you can run the following command from your command-line prompt or terminal.

ping us1.api.mailchimp.com

The first 3 characters "us1" should match the last few characters of your API key, everything after the dash. So if your API key ends in "xxxx-us5" then you should enter the following command in your terminal.

ping us5.api.mailchimp.com

The result should read something like this:

ping us11.api.mailchimp.com
PING e9174.x.akamaiedge.net (95.100.134.62): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 95.100.134.62: icmp_seq=0 ttl=58 time=11.385 ms

The last line states the IP address of your API server.

Hope that helps. If not, let me know!
