Snapshots API is a developer friendly API that exposes resources like locations and charities. It is designed to be easy to call from automation tools like Zapier. You can pull data and build workflows without heavy coding. The API is structured with clear endpoints and consistent authentication. The system also encourages best practices for rate limits and credential protection.
No deep coding is required. Zapier App Connector allows you to connect endpoints using a visual builder. You can configure triggers, actions, and searches without writing code. If needed you can add simple scripts or use built in actions, but most use cases are achieved without writing code.
Endpoint availability depends on your plan. Common endpoints include /locations and /charities. The list may grow as features are added and your access expands. Check your API docs for the full active set of endpoints.
Authentication is done via API key or OAuth tokens. In Zapier you select the auth type and securely store credentials. Always follow best practices for securing keys and rotating credentials.
Scopes control access to resources. For read location data you need saas/location.read. Request additional scopes if you need more resources. Always align scopes with the minimum permissions required.
Yes. You can automate updates to charity websites by syncing data to your CMS or CRM. Use triggers on data changes or scheduled checks to keep content fresh.
API docs are provided in your Snapshots API developer portal. You can access examples, endpoints, and authentication details there. If you need, you can reach out to support for guidance.
