Code Walkthrough

1. apiKey is your MailChimp token which you can easily learn how to generate in https://mailchimp.com/help/about-api-keys/.
2. listId is your audience id.
3. MailChimpListMemberReader is used to read all the contacts in the given listId.
4. .setStatus(ListMemberStatus.subscribed) this method is used to specify the type of contacts that you want to fetch e.g. for this case, all the subscribed contacts will be fetched.
5. The status can either be subscribed, unsubscribed, cleaned, pending, or archived.
6. StreamWriter.newSystemOutWriter() is used to print the output records to the console.
7. Job.run() is then used to transfer data from the reader to StreamWriter.
