ExactTarget Serverside Javascript: Is there any way to populate a list's attributes into a Data Extension?

Question

I have a list and when using the following code:

var myList = List.Init("TestList");
var subs = myList.Subscribers.Retrieve();
Write(Stringify(subs));

I retrieve these attributes:

ID  :   184408991
EmailAddress    :   x@x.com
SubscriberKey   :   x@x.com
PartnerKey  :   null
Status  :   Active
CreatedDate :   2014-12-24T02:14:00.000
UnsubscribedDate    :   0001-01-01T00:00:00.000

I would like to find the "FirstName" values for this list based subscriber and populate it into a Data Extension to be segmented using a Query Activity later.

Is there any way to find the "FirstName" attribute for list based subscribers using SSJS?

Answer 1

You will first need to initialize an individual subscriber object. You can then use the Attributes.Retrieve() function to return the attributes and values for a specific subscriber.

Platform.Load("core", "1.1.1");
var subObj = Subscriber.Init("SubKey");
var attributes = subObj.Attributes.Retrieve();
