NationBuilder Broadcasters API

  title: NationBuilder V2 Async Processes Broadcasters API
  version: '2.0'
  description: 'The NationBuilder V2 API is a JSON:API-compliant API for managing NationBuilder

    resources such as people, donations, events, and lists. It layers a few

    conventions on top of the JSON:API standard, described below. For a broader

    introduction, see the

    [NationBuilder v2 API core concepts](https://support.nationbuilder.com/en/articles/9757369-nationbuilder-v2-api-core-concepts)

    guide.


    ### Request and response format


    Requests and responses follow the [JSON:API](https://jsonapi.org/) document

    structure: single resources are returned under a top-level `data` member, and

    collections are paginated arrays of resource objects with `links` for the

    current, previous, and next pages. Related resources can be sideloaded into a

    top-level `included` array with the `include` query parameter, and responses

    can be trimmed to specific attributes with `fields[resource_type]` sparse

    fieldsets (plus opt-in `extra_fields[resource_type]` attributes where noted).

    Responses are served as `application/vnd.api+json`; request bodies may be

    sent as `application/vnd.api+json` or `application/json`.


    Filtering uses an operator syntax: `filter[attribute]=value` for

    equality (comma-separated values act as OR), and

    `filter[attribute][operator]=value` for other comparisons. String attributes

    support `eq`, `not_eq`, `eql`, `not_eql`, `prefix`, `not_prefix`, `suffix`,

    `not_suffix`, `match`, and `not_match`; numeric and date attributes support

    `eq`, `not_eq`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, and `lte`. Note that JSON:API relationship

    routes (`/resource/{id}/relationships/other`) are not provided; related

    resources are reachable through the filtered index URLs given in each

    resource''s `relationships` links.


    ### Errors


    Error responses use a flat JSON body with a machine-readable `code` and a

    human-readable `message`. Some errors carry additional detail members (for

    example `validation_errors`). The exception is 422 validation failures,

    which return a JSON:API `errors` array locating each invalid field via

    `source.pointer`.


    ### Rate limiting


    Requests are limited per access token (250 requests per 10-second window).

    Every response includes `RateLimit-Limit`, `RateLimit-Remaining`, and

    `RateLimit-Reset` headers; exceeding the limit returns a 429 with a

    `Retry-After` header.
