I agree this isn't clear in the docs so i'll get onto updating them.
The structure for this URL is:
POST /1/:user/:list_id/subscribers.{format}
where:
:user is the user_id or screen_name of the user who owns the list
:list_id is the ID or slug for the list owned by :user. This isn't
necessarily the display name of the list.
The method will then subscribe the user who you are authenticating as
to the list of subscribers.
For example if I want to subscribe to the world-leaders list created
by the @verified account I would use:
POST /1/verified/world-leaders/subscribers.json
On success the method will return the details of of the list subscribed to.
Hope that helps
Matt
