Custom field categories when adding a V2 Gift

David Zeidman

I am attempting to add a gift using the V2 Gift API. I like the fact that you can add custom fields at the same time. However, for the category the API description requires the id. It says:

The category ID, foreign key to ATTRIBUTETYPES

That would be fine except that there does not appear to be a way of obtaining those ids. I can only see one endpoint for obtaining custom field categories:

https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/gift/v1/gifts/customfields/categories

This returns the category name and data type used but not any other information. Am I missing something or is there another place where this information is returned?

this is the endpoint that will give you the attribute category id

Thank you, I did look through that API but must have missed that one!
