Question about REST API for Mailman 3
Hi team,
I am developing an application on which just clicking on submitwith some input values loaded should invoke the REST API of Mailman 3 running on another server and do some activities like adding of user(s) to a list or removal of user(s) from a list or so.
Is it possible to do so ? If so, how ?-- Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth.K 9052671936

Is it possible through CURL command in combination with some other parameters?
If possible please mention an example of adding a member to a mailman 2 DL.
I am really clueless.

It's possible. The REST API itself is documented here:
https://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/rest/docs/rest.html
I haven't tried the examples with curl, but they probably should work; I don't think you need any special HTTP headers or anything like that.
The "another server" part is possible, but a bad idea in production because the REST API is 100% not authenticated. Security is maintained by running any applications that access the REST API on the same host. If you really want to do this, it's explained in this thread:
https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/M...
Note that the context of this thread is a development environment and the idea is to restrict access to a small LAN.

Except for HTTP basic auth, which you can usually just do with "--user" parameter in curl instead of creating the "Authorization" header and it's base64 encoded username password value yourself.
