Donorbox Donations API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Donorbox API
  description: >-
    The Donorbox API provides read-only access to a nonprofit organization's
    fundraising data - Campaigns, Donations, Plans (recurring donation
    subscriptions), Donors, Events, Tickets, and Event Ticket Purchases. The
    API is a paid add-on available on the Pro and Premium Donorbox plans. All
    requests use HTTP Basic Auth, with your Donorbox organization login email
    as the username and your API key as the password. Every list endpoint
    supports `page`/`per_page` pagination and `order` sorting, and most
    support endpoint-specific filters. There are no documented write
    (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) operations - donations, donors, and plans are
    created through the hosted Donorbox checkout flow, not this API. This
    document was authored by API Evangelist from the official
    donorbox/donorbox-api GitHub README and wiki, since Donorbox does not
    publish its own OpenAPI/Swagger file.
