BACKGROUND:

I have the same problem like here: "Get members from a list with Fist and Last name"

http://groups.google.com/group/mailchimp-api-discuss/browse_frm/thread/a61687c2a3ae9413/6664c2153a635d24?tvc=1&q=listMembers#6664c2153a635d24

-> the Export Api should solve it....in this thread.

->Please note that as of version 3.0.0 Hominid no longer includes support for the Mailchimp Export API.

With Hominid >3.0.0 I can't retrieve the information at once.
With listmembers (http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/rtfm/listmembers.func.php) I only get the email.
(Hint of listmembers: Are you trying to get a dump including lots of merge data or specific members of a list? If so, checkout the Export API)

With listmemberinfo (http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/rtfm/listmemberinfo.func.php) I can only push an array of up to 50 email addresses to get the information.....if I have a small list of 500 members I had to call it ten times !

MY QUESTION(S):
1. What is the reason for not anymore including Export Api? (or where to get a connector)
(when api methods and forums point to it?)

2. Did I overlook something? - Is there an other way to do it with Mailchimp API 1.3?

I can imagine it is a common problem.

Thanks,
Karsten
