  title: Donately Accounts People 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.'
