REST API
Full API access for custom integrations
The REST API gives developers full programmatic access to HelpYouSponsor with 195+ endpoints covering donors, sponsorships, payments, programs, recipients, messages, and more. A complete OpenAPI specification is included for automatic code generation in any language. Webhook events notify your systems of changes in real time, and token-based authentication keeps integrations secure.
The Problem
Without an API, custom integrations require manual data exports, screen scraping, or direct database access -- all fragile approaches that break with platform updates and create security risks.
The Solution
With HYS REST API, developers build reliable integrations using 195+ documented endpoints with OpenAPI specs, webhook events, and secure token authentication.
How it works
Generate API tokens
Create API tokens from your HYS dashboard with scoped permissions. Tokens authenticate all API requests securely.
Explore the endpoints
Browse 195+ endpoints organized by resource -- donors, sponsorships, payments, programs, recipients, messages, and more. Full OpenAPI spec included.
Build and integrate
Use the OpenAPI spec to generate client libraries in any language, set up webhook listeners for real-time events, and build the integrations your workflows need.
How this feeds Aida's work queue
Every rest api signal becomes an owned, reviewed action on your team's queue
In HelpYouServe, the context this captures lives on one record and rolls up into Aida's daily queue. Aida, your AI Development Director, turns it into an owned next action with a deadline, prepares the next step in your voice with citations, and your team reviews and approves before anything goes out. Aida adds development capacity, she does not replace your team.
HelpYouServe is the platform underneath: donor records, giving pages, sponsorships, communications, reporting, tasks, approvals, and audit history on one system.
Source context, owner, deadline, AI draft, your approval
