Event fundraisers 2 V2

Event fundraisers 2 V2

This API is only available to Event Package users and is an enhanced version of the ‘Event fundraisers’ API.

In addition to providing a list of fundraisers who have set up a fundraising page for the event resource ID passed, this enhanced version also provides details of the charity categorisation(s) e.g. Mental Health.

This page focuses on the additional content offered, and should be used in conjunction with the Event fundraisers API for details of sort parameters available & navigation links.

Changes from V1 to V2

We have made the fundraiser's title and team member title's optional as we have changed our fundraiser journey to not need these. If you have an existing title with us this will still come through.

Fundraiser accounts now have profile images and their pages have cover images, we return these in this API.
