Authentication

Create a key in your dashboard under Integrations → Developer API. Send it on every request in the X-API-Key header. Keys are shown once — store them securely. Every key is scoped to your organization only.

curl https://charityfundraiser.com/api/v1/donations \
  -H "X-API-Key: cf_live_your_key_here"

All requests are HTTPS. Rate limit: 120 requests/minute per key.

  -d '{"name":"New Supporter","email":"new@example.com","tags":["website"]}'

Upserts by email — if the contact already exists, its tags are merged.

Need real-time events instead of polling?

Use outbound webhooks — subscribe to donation.paid,ticket.purchased, recurring.charged and more, and we'll POST signed JSON to your URL the moment they happen. This is the Zapier / Make / n8n bridge.
