title: Zeffy Public API
description: >-
The Zeffy Public API gives nonprofit organization admins free, read-only
access to their Zeffy data: Payments (transactions/donations), Contacts
(donors and supporters), and Campaigns (donation forms, events, and other
campaign types). The API is REST over HTTPS, authenticated with a
per-organization API key sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
It is read-only - records can be pulled but not created or modified. Results
use cursor-based pagination and support filtering (payments by currency,
status, type, contact, campaign, and date range; contacts by ID or email).
The rate limit is 100 requests per minute per API key.
NOTE: The list endpoints (GET /payments, GET /contacts, GET /campaigns), the
base URL, Bearer auth, cursor pagination, and the rate limit are confirmed
from Zeffy's public documentation. The get-by-id paths and individual query
parameters below are honestly modeled from the documented capabilities
("look up a specific payment", "look up a specific person by ID or email",
filter by currency/status/type/contact/campaign/date) rather than copied
field-by-field from the interactive reference, which requires an account.
