Donately Donations API

  title: Donately API
  description: >-
    The Donately API is a REST/JSON API for online donation and fundraising
    management. It exposes accounts, campaigns, donations, recurring
    subscriptions, people (donors), fundraisers, forms, and webhooks. Base URL
    https://api.donately.com/v2 (API version 2019-03-15). Requests are
    authenticated with an API token via HTTP Basic Auth (the token is
    base64-encoded with a trailing colon); the token is found in the Donately
    dashboard under Settings -> API. Most endpoints require an account_id
    parameter identifying which account to operate against. NOTE: Donately's
    reference renders as a JavaScript single-page app that could not be fully
    crawled; endpoints confirmed from documentation and third-party connectors
    are marked as such, and the remainder are modeled on Donately's Stripe-style
    REST conventions - verify exact paths against developer.donately.com/api.
