I've been asked to integrate with Mailchimp for a CRM, not to send emails, but just to report back on Mailchimp activity for each contact in the CRM
Simple enough to state the question I want to ask the API: "please could you tell me all the campaigns that have been sent to this email address?"
However, looking through the API documentation, it looks like it might be very longwinded in practice, and would probably require polling and storing bulk data rather than being able to ask just this question on the fly....
Before I implemented something really heavy and longwinded, I wondered whether anyone with more experience with this API could suggest whether I have missed some simpler approach?

Actually, I am not 100% sure it can be done at all....
It is possible to find out whether an email address is in a LIST, and it is possible to see whether a CAMPAIGN has been sent to a LIST, but what if the email was added to the list after the campaign was sent?
hmmmm
It seems unlikely that the API is incapable of telling me
.... but it is really hard to see how to dig out the information
