 * Hello, install the plugin, create the account, I create an API in extras, but
   when I put it in the plugin API field and I give it to save, it gives me this
   message:
 * “Unauthorizedey may be invalid, or you’ve attempted to access the wrong datacenter.”
 * I’m looking for information on google but I do not see anything that solves me.

    Hola, instale el plugin, 
   cree la cuenta, creo una API en extras, pero cuando la pongo en el campo de la
   API del plugin y le doy a guardar me da este mensaje:
 * “Unauthorizedey may be invalid, or you’ve attempted to access the wrong datacenter.”
 * Busco información en google pero no veo nada que me resuelva.

 * The API key should end in a server number, like -US17 for example.
    Maybe you
   are filling your license key as API key? The license key should be filled under
   MailChimp for WP > Other. That field is only visible when the Premium add-on 
   is installed.
 * Under the API key field you see a link (as in your screenshot) that you can click
   to obtain the API key from your MailChimp.com account.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!
