What this skill does

# FundraiseUp API Skill

## Overview
This skill enables Claude to interact with the FundraiseUp REST API for processing donations, managing recurring plans, retrieving supporter data, and accessing fundraising analytics. FundraiseUp is a digital fundraising platform that allows nonprofits to process donations from various channels.

## Configuration
Required environment variables:


```FUNDRAISEUP_API_KEY ```- API Key (e.g., ```ABEDDDD_XSSSHwzZc98KR53CWQeWeclA```)

## Base URL
```
https://api.fundraiseup.com/v1
```

## Authentication

### API Key Generation
1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > API keys
2. Click "Create API key"
3. Enter a descriptive name
4. Select data mode:
   - **Live data**: For production use
   - **Test data**: For testing (keys have `test_` prefix)
5. Select permissions:
   - Retrieve donation data
   - Create new donations
   - Generate Donor Portal access links
6. Save the API key securely (shown only once)

### Authentication Header
All API requests must include the `Authorization` header with Bearer token:

```bash
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

### Important Notes
- API keys are scoped to specific accounts/subaccounts
- Parent account API keys cannot create donations for subaccounts
- Only Organization Administrators can create API keys
- Never expose API keys publicly

## Rate Limits
- **8 requests per second**
- **128 requests per minute**
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for rate limit handling

## Required Headers
```bash
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```
