title: Breeze ChMS API
description: >-
The Breeze ChMS API is a documented REST API for Breeze church management
software. It is scoped to an individual church subdomain
(https://{subdomain}.breezechms.com/api) and covers people, tags, events,
check-in / attendance, giving (contributions), funds, pledge campaigns,
custom forms, volunteers, and account administration. Every operation is an
HTTP GET request whose inputs are supplied as query-string parameters;
request bodies for create/update operations are passed as JSON-encoded
strings in parameters such as fields_json and funds_json. Authentication is
an account API key sent in the Api-Key HTTP header. The API is rate limited
to roughly 20 requests per minute; wait about 3.5 seconds between calls. The
API key is obtained by the Account Owner under Manage Account > API Key.
