  title: Zeffy Public Campaigns Contacts 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.'
