// Function to retrieve Mailster subscribers (GET request)
function prefix_get_mailster_subscribers(WP_REST_Request $request) {
// Get parameters from the request
$limit = $request->get_param('limit') ?: 10; // Default to 10
$lists = $request->get_param('lists');
$fields = $request->get_param('fields') ?: 'all';
$meta = $request->get_param('meta') ?: '';

// Prepare the arguments for the Mailster query
$args = array(
'limit' => (int)$limit,
'fields' => $fields,
'meta' => array_filter(explode(',', $meta)), // Clean and split meta into an array
);

// Add lists to the arguments if provided
if ($lists) {
$args['lists'] = array_filter(explode(',', $lists));
}

try {
// Query Mailster subscribers
$subscribers = mailster('subscribers')->query($args);

// Return the response
return new WP_REST_Response($subscribers, 200);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Handle errors gracefully
return new WP_Error('mailster_error', $e->getMessage(), array('status' => 400));
}
}

// Function to check if Mailster is active (ping request)
function prefix_mailster_ping() {
return new WP_REST_Response(array(
'message' => 'Mailster API is working.',
'status' => 'success',
), 200);
}

// Function to add a single subscriber to a list
function prefix_add_subscriber_to_list(WP_REST_Request $request) {
$payload = $request->get_json_params();
// Validate input
if (empty($payload['email']) || !is_email($payload['email'])) {
return new WP_Error('invalid_input', 'Invalid or missing email.', array('status' => 400));
}

if (empty($payload['list_id']) || !is_numeric($payload['list_id'])) {
return new WP_Error('invalid_list_id', 'Invalid or missing list ID.', array('status' => 400));
}

try {
// Add the subscriber
$subscriber_id = mailster('subscribers')->add(array(
'firstname' => $payload['firstname'] ?? '',
'lastname' => $payload['lastname'] ?? '',
'email' => $payload['email'],
'status' => $payload['status'] ?? 1 // Default to subscribed (1)
), $overwrite = true); // Overwrite existing subscribers if they already exist

// Check for errors during the add process
if (is_wp_error($subscriber_id)) {
return new WP_Error('subscriber_add_error', 'Failed to add subscriber: ' . $subscriber_id->get_error_message(), array('status' => 400));
}

// Assign the subscriber to the list
$success = mailster('subscribers')->assign_lists($subscriber_id, $payload['list_id']);

if (!$success) {
return new WP_Error('assign_list_error', 'Failed to assign subscriber to the list.', array('status' => 400));
}

// Return a success message
return new WP_REST_Response(array(
'status' => 'success',
'message' => 'Subscriber added and assigned to list successfully.',
), 200);

} catch (Exception $e) {
return new WP_Error('mailster_error', 'Error adding subscriber: ' . $e->getMessage(), array('status' => 400));
}
}

// Function to check if a list exists by ID
function prefix_check_list(WP_REST_Request $request) {
$payload = $request->get_json_params();

// Validate input
if (empty($payload['id']) || !is_numeric($payload['id'])) {
return new WP_Error('invalid_list_id', 'Invalid or missing list ID.', array('status' => 400));
}

$list_id = (int) $payload['id'];

// Check if the list exists
$list = mailster('lists')->get($list_id);

if (!$list) {
return new WP_REST_Response(array(
'success' => false,
'message' => 'List not found.',
), 400);
}

// If found, return success
return new WP_REST_Response(array(
'success' => true,
'message' => 'List found.',
'list' => $list,
), 200);
}


// Register REST API routes for Mailster
function prefix_register_mailster_routes() {
// Check if Mailster is active
if (function_exists('mailster')) {
// Route to retrieve Mailster subscribers
register_rest_route('mailster/v1', '/subscribers', array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'prefix_get_mailster_subscribers',
'permission_callback' => '__return_true', // Adjust this for better security
));
// Route for adding a single subscriber
register_rest_route('mailster/v1', '/add-subscriber', array(
'methods' => 'POST',
'callback' => 'prefix_add_subscriber_to_list',
'permission_callback' => '__return_true',
));

// Route for pinging Mailster API
register_rest_route('mailster/v1', '/ping', array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'prefix_mailster_ping',
'permission_callback' => '__return_true', // Adjust this for better security
));

register_rest_route('mailster/v1', '/check-list', array(
'methods' => 'POST',
'callback' => 'prefix_check_list',
'permission_callback' => '__return_true', // Adjust this for better security
));
}
}
add_action('rest_api_init', 'prefix_register_mailster_routes');

Then go to this link: https:// [Your Domain Address in WordPress] /?rest_route=/mailster/v1/ping and if your snippet is activated and working fine then a message will show stating MailPoet API is working and status Success. If this message comes then you can start following the next steps.
