How to add/put address with MailChimp API?

Question

I just cannot add an Address with the API. I managed to update every other coloumn type, but not the address one.

I tried two ways:

$array['ADDRESS']['addr1'] = 'Amara Locks 12588'
...

didn't work. I got the error message:

400: The resource submitted could not be validated. For field-specific details, see the 'errors' array.

Because of this post I thought I needed to convert it to JSON. It worked for not getting any errors, but the field address stays empty in MailChimp.

Just for an example how the array looks like:

["ADDRESS"]=>
string(124) "{"country":"DE","addr1":"Amara Locks 12588","addr2":"Second Floor","state":"North Dakota","city":"East Kadin","zip":"33183"}"

_For field-specific details, see the 'errors' array._ - and what is in the `errors` array? — Sean Bright, Jul 10 '18 at 15:33
@SeanBright yeah that is my problem, I don't know how to get the error since I'm working with a wrapper (spatie/laravel-newsletter/ and drewm/mailchimp-api). The only why to see it is with $this->mailChimp->getLastError(); but it gives me the error that I wrote.... — Philipp Mochine, Jul 10 '18 at 15:38

So for future readers. Yes the first way was the correct one. But my problem was that some of the values were null, so you need to remove them, e.g.

 $array['ADDRESS']['addr1'] = $address ?? '';

@Philipp Mochine answer is correct.This answer is for all those PHP developer who are 
looking for complete array structure.
array:2 [
"email_address" => "ggdd@gmail.com"
"merge_fields" => array:4 [
"FNAME" => "Hassan"

"PHONE" => ""
"ADDRESS" => array:6 [

This structure is working for everything else. But for some reason `PHONE` is not working and simply keeping the phone number column empty on their list. Is there any change happen since this is a old answer? – Foysal Remon Apr 25 '22 at 10:50
