Tithe.ly API: request access and integrate giving/church data
domain: tithe.ly · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed

Steps
Request API access directly from Tithe.ly (e.g. via support@tithe.ly or their developer application process) describing your integration — this API is access-gated, not open self-serve.
Once approved, set up a separate Tithe.ly test account distinct from the live/production account, since development is done against test credentials per docs.tithe.ly.
Review the published OpenAPI-based reference at docs.tithe.ly and tithe.ly/api/v2/docs for the current resource set before building anything.
For any payment-related flow, use the Tithely.js tokenization approach rather than handling raw card data directly.
Validate all read/write calls against the test account first, then repoint credentials at the live account only once confirmed.
Known gotchas
Access requires an approval step (church/org already using or moving to Tithe.ly) — it is not a self-serve signup API.
Endpoint names/resource models should be pulled fresh from docs.tithe.ly at build time; this route was confirmed to exist but access gating means third-party mirrors may drift from current reality.
Anything touching payments carries compliance obligations (PCI, etc.) — confirm current requirements with Tithe.ly before building.
