Church Community Builder (Pushpay CCB) classic API: manage individuals and groups

Steps
Have a CCB/Pushpay admin create an API user and explicitly enable the specific 'services' that user is permitted to call (e.g. individual_search, create_individual, group_profiles, add_individual_to_group).
Authenticate requests to https://[account].ccbchurch.com/api.php using the credentials tied to that API user, per Pushpay's official CCB API docs.
Look up individuals with the individual_search service, passing search parameters as query args; responses are XML, not JSON.
Create new individuals with create_individual, and manage group membership with group_profiles / group_profile_from_id / add_individual_to_group.
Confirm current service availability and enablement steps against Pushpay's live support docs before building, since access is admin-toggled per account and the product has been consolidated under Pushpay since its 2019 acquisition.
Known gotchas
This is a legacy, services-based XML API (?srv=service_name pattern), not a modern JSON REST API — plan for XML parsing.
Each API user needs every required 'service' individually enabled by an admin; valid credentials alone don't guarantee access to a given service.
Verify the API is still active for a given account before building — Pushpay has been steering newer/migrated customers toward other integration paths.
