API Documentation

Introduction

The myCerfa API lets you retrieve, add and modify application data. We use standard HTTP methods for each of those actions.

• GET to retrieve
• POST to create
• POST to modify

EVERY CALL starts with /api/v1

For example, if you want to retrieve the donors list, the URL looks like this :

https://mycerfa.com/api/v1/donors

If your want to retrieve the data of a donor with the ID 123, the final built URL must be :

https://mycerfa.com/api/v1/donors/123

Requirements

All API access is over HTTPS, and accessed from the mycerfa.com domain

All data is sent and received as JSON.

Authentification

From your server, set up api-key HTTP headers to provide the Access Token. The api-key is the Api Key Secret you can find in your App’s general settings You authenticate to the API by providing your Access Token in the header request.
