Manual

The manual explains why — the concepts behind the API, the lifecycle of the core resources, and the conventions you’ll see repeated across endpoints.

If you want to know how to call endpoint X, see the API reference. If you want to know what a “charitable cause” is and how it relates to a transaction, you’re in the right place.

What lives here

• Core concepts — the domain model in plain language.
• Conventions — pagination, errors, encryption-at-rest, response envelopes.
• Lifecycle — how each resource is created, updated, and retired.
