DonorSearch API Key

The DonorSearch API Key is a unique identifier used with all transactions between DonorSearch and Theatre Manager. It acts as the place holder for a "Username" and "Password" that the end user would enter into the DonorSearch Web Portal directly if not accessing the data via Theatre Manager.

This process will return the API Key. You will only be able to return the API Key once. After an API Key is created for your account, it is not retrievable this way again. Attempting to run this same process will report "Error". There are two reasons for the "Error" message will occur:

1. The username and password are an invalid combination.
2. The API Key has already been generated.

If this message occurs please reach out to your DonorSearch contact after ensuring you have entered the appropriate required fields.

If you have previously generated your API Key and know exactly what the API Key is, you can enter it directly into the API Key field.
