Yes. What isn't working? Have you double checked MailChimp's API doc to make sure you're passing the parameters in the manner it expects?

Amro,

I have checked MailChimps API doc, not sure if I did a good job of
translating from php to ruby but this is what I am attempting to use:

gb = Gibbon.new

list_id = gb.lists({:list_name => "Users"})["data"].first["id"]

gb.listUpdateMember(:id => list_id, :email_address => old_email ,
:merge_vars => [:email_address => new_email] )

Can you offer any help on this?

Daniel,

What error are you seeing?

A few things off hand that could cause you trouble:

1. Are you passing your API key (and removed it for security sake when pasting) when newing up the Gibbon instance?

2. The parameters for your lists() call aren't quite right. Double check the API docs for that call but I believe you need to pass the list_name in a filters hash. If you're making calls on the same list over and over, you're probably better off getting the list id once and hard coding that in your server code as it doesn't change.

The first part should look something like (untested code):

list_id = gb.lists({:filters => {:list_name => "Users"}})

3. For listUpdateMember (or list_update_member in Ruby land), you're not passing the parameters in a hash. Gibbon expects a hash. I have some examples at https://github.com/amro/gibbon that explain the nuances of how to use Gibbon but generally you just underscore and lower case the name of the API call and pass a hash of parameters formatted in the manner that the API call expects.

Hope that helps.
