Mailchimp API stops working after 1-2 php form submissions

I'm using a simple code to add new leads to my mailchimp account.
It worked perfect a few times and then I tried again 10 minutes later and it stopped working.

Is there some sort of API limit or something?

// MailChimp API URL

$memberID = md5(strtolower($email));

$dataCenter = substr($apiKey,strpos($apiKey,'-')+1);

$url = 'https://' . $dataCenter . '.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/' . $listID . '/members/' . $memberID;



// member information

$json = json_encode([

	'email_address' => $email,

	'status'        => 'subscribed',

	'merge_fields'  => [

		'FNAME'     => $fname,

		'LNAME'     => $lname

	]

]);



// send a HTTP POST request with curl

$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'user:' . $apiKey);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($ch);

So what does “stopped working” mean? Do you get a response saying, “API went home for today, call again tomorrow” … or what?

Not exactly. More like emails aren't being added to the mailchimp list like they were with the exact same code before I posted this question

Have you looked at the API response to try and find out what might have gone wrong?

Could you guide me into how to do that?
