# CharityStack API: programmatic access to your donation data

> Explore what you can build with the CharityStack Public API — from syncing payment records to automating donor outreach and managing fundraising forms.

The CharityStack Public API gives developers and nonprofits programmatic access to their organization's fundraising data. You can retrieve payments, manage recurring subscriptions, sync contacts, configure fundraising forms, receive real-time webhook events, and monitor API usage — all through a single RESTful interface.
