How to obtain the Membership Id of a Constituent?

Eric Clark

I'm just starting on the API and we want a way through the API to check the constituent's membership ship status. However, the membership_id that is set when signing up (see image below) does not work when using the endpoint: https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/membership/v1/memberships/{membership_id}/status

What does work is the ID presented in the URL when reviewing constituents' membership records in Raiser's Edge.

Is there a way to find the true membership id to utilize the previously mentioned endpoint? Or is there an alternate way

@Eric Clark
Have you tried looking in database view, in the properties of the membership?

@Eric Clark
When you create a membership on a constituent
https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=membership&operation=AddMembership

It returns the membership id, which is what you can use to get membership status on this API endpoint
https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=membership&operation=GetMembershipStatusByMembershipIdAsync

If you are looking for membereship id of a specific constituent you can use this endpoint to list all memberships of a constituent, which will include the ID you need to make the get status call:
https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=56b76470069a0509c8f1c5b3&operation=ListConstituentMembershipsSingleConstituent

if you want to get ALL constituent membership, then this is what you want to use
https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=56b76470069a0509c8f1c5b3&operation=ListMemberships

@Alex Wong,

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for to meet our needs.
