Marketing API always returns a subscription for random email

[psl86]

When calling the GET endpoint of the "Subscription preferences" in the Marketing API I always get a 200 response with 1 subscription. 

You can try i.e.
https://api.hubapi.com/communication-preferences/v3/status/email/asdasd@fghfgh.com?hapikey=YOUR_API_...

And you will get the response

{
    "recipient": "asdasd@fghfgh.com",
    "subscriptionStatuses": [
        {
            "id": "123456781",
            "name": "Customer Service Communication",
            "description": "Receive feedback requests and customer service information.",
            "status": "SUBSCRIBED",
            "sourceOfStatus": "SUBSCRIPTION_STATUS",
            "brandId": null,
            "preferenceGroupName": null,
            "legalBasis": null,
            "legalBasisExplanation": null
        }
    ]
}

Notice that LegalBasis and Explanation is null, while this is required fields when using the Subscribe (POST) part of the API.

I am also facing same problem.
For any random mail id it is returning status as a 'SUBSCRIBED'
Any solution?

Have not experienced this! But I can reproduce. This is really odd.

@psl86 

How was this contact subscribed?  I am struggling to reproduce this issue.

[psl86]

He was not. Any random email will give me back this subscription.

Interesting

I cannot reproduce in a production portal, but I can in a test portal 🤔

@Teun , have you experienced this?  I am looking to see if this is working as designed

Would love to know if you found any answers to this, as I'm also having the same problem.
