YourMembership Members API

Read and manage member and contact records - member lists, profiles, account details, custom fields, membership types, and groups - via the REST MemberProfile and People endpoints under /Ams. Requests are OAuth-authenticated after POST /Ams/Authenticate. Access requires licensing the REST API from YourMembership. Endpoint paths beyond the documented Authenticate/MemberProfile/People surface are modeled from public integration guides.

  title: YourMembership API
  description: >-
    A description of the YourMembership developer API surface. YourMembership is
    an association management system (AMS) / membership management platform owned
    by Community Brands (now operating under Momentive Software / the Personify
    portfolio). This document covers the modern REST API (base
    https://ws.yourmembership.com, OAuth-authenticated, endpoints under /Ams) and
    references the separate YMCareers REST API (base
    https://api.careerwebsite.com/v1).


    Access is license/partner gated: customers must license the REST API before an
    integration partner can connect, and the vendor Swagger UI and metadata
    document return HTTP 403 to anonymous callers. As a result only a subset of
    paths is publicly confirmed - POST /Ams/Authenticate, the MemberProfile
    endpoint (ReadContacts) and the People endpoint (ReadContact). The remaining
    Events, Certifications, Content/Community, and Commerce/Sales operations here
    are honestly MODELED from documented platform capability and the legacy XML API
    (v2.00) method groups; they are not copied from a public specification and the
    exact request/response shapes will differ. Confirm against the licensed Swagger
    UI at https://ws.yourmembership.com/swagger-ui/ before building.
