[MailChimp] Error: undefined - Unable to connect to the MailChimp API endpoint.

Worked on this for a few hours, but can't get past this error (above) on the api.call (obfuscated my settings of course)

Session.set( 'MailChimpOptions.apiKey', "XXXXXXXX");
Session.set( 'MailChimpOptions.listId', "YYYYYYYY");

try {
var api = new MailChimp( Session.get( 'MailChimpOptions.apiKey' ), { version : '2.0' } );
} catch ( error ) {
console.log( error.message );
}

api.call( 'campaigns', 'list', { start: 0, limit: 25 }, function ( error, result ) {
if ( error )
console.log( error.message );
else
console.log( JSON.stringify( result ) ); // Do something with your data!
});

// any ideas how to troubleshoot?

in config settings I do this

},
"mailChimp": {
    "listId": "{ my list id }",
    "apiKey": "{ my api key }"
},...

then in startup I do this this:

MailChimpOptions.apiKey = Meteor.settings.mailChimp.apiKey;
MailChimpOptions.listId = Meteor.settings.mailChimp.listId;

is that technically OK?

Technically yes, but if you do the settings exactly as described in README.md (with "MailChimpOptions"!):

{
    "MailChimpOptions": {
        "apiKey": "<Your MailChimp API Key>",
        "listId": "<ID of your default mailing list>"
    }
}

then you don't need the rest of the code - it's already there.

Try to hardcode 'apiKey' value in api.call method to see what happens and check that your apiKey is valid.

[Maxhodges]

yes, I already tried hard-coding it directly in the call too. I really
spent many hours on it :(

Did any of you ever get this to work? Maybe have a demo available? I'm running into this same error, and have spent a day on this with no luck. :(
