title: NationBuilder V2 Async Processes Paths 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.
