Steps
Request an XML API key from DonorPerfect/SofterWare support (api@softerware.com) — it is not self-service
Construct an HTTPS POST request to the DonorPerfect XML API endpoint with your API key and either a predefined procedure name or a dynamic SELECT-style query
Use a predefined gift-retrieval procedure (e.g. one that returns gifts for a given donor ID) or write a dynamic query against the gifts table/view for broader filtering
Page through results manually, since API queries are capped at roughly 500 rows per call — split large pulls into multiple date- or ID-bounded requests
Parse the returned XML payload into your target schema
For writing gifts (not just querying), use the corresponding save-gift procedure rather than the query interface
Known gotchas
There's a hard ~500-row retrieval limit per call — naive single large queries will silently truncate results instead of erroring, so always paginate/filter
This is an XML-over-HTTP API, not a modern JSON REST API — expect verbose request/response payloads and procedure-style calls rather than resource URLs
API access must be explicitly requested from SofterWare support and is not enabled by default on all DonorPerfect accounts
