Asked a question 3 years ago

Hey, it seems like the API doesn't support emails with a plus sign in it. I'm getting an error on this endpoint: https://api.www.some-labo.com/v3/subscribers?api_secret=MY_SECRET_KEY&email_address=per+3@scrimba.com. However, I don't get an error if I omit the '+3' from the name of the email. Anyone else experienced this before?

  • About You tab:
    • Photo: upload a picture of yourself or your brand
    • About You: let other community members know a little about you as a person, a creator, and anything else you'd like to add
    • Banner: add an image of your creator brand, logo, or an image that inspires your creativity
  • Social Media tab:
    • Let other members know where they can find you and your brand across social media platforms. This is a great additional step to connect with other creators in the industry!

You need to properly URL encode that to escape the plus sign (using%2B) for use in a parameter like email_address.

Without the encoding the + is treated as a space in a param.
