Getting started with BBGM API

William Joseph

Hey folks,

Apologies for the fairly base question, but I'm struggling to find the very basics for getting started with the API for Blackbaud Grantmaking.

By way of context, I am a web developer that is working on behalf of a client that uses BBGM in their daily operational workflow. I am developing a new website for them, and we're discussing ways in which the website could integrate with Blackbaud.

So far, the client has created a user for me in their Grantmaking instance and I as I understand it, the Grantmaking package doesn't use the Sky API interface. Here is the documentation that I am referencing.

The initial auth token generation endpoint mentions sending over a `userId` and a `privateKey` - neither of which are immediately obvious to me. How can I generate an API key in my GM account?

Again, apologies for the frustrating nature of this question - but any level of support you folks can provide would be greatly received.

Best,

Jonny

Jonny,

The API for Blackbaud Grantmaking is an asset that would need to be added to the client configuration. Feel free to reach out to me directly and I can assist further.
