Overview

You receive photos and updates showing exactly what your donation achieved. Ninety cents of every dollar goes directly to the projects you support. Clean water wells are built with and maintained by local communities.

Installation

Install the SDK with the package manager your project already uses. It needs Node 18 or newer.

terminal
$ npm install @glowia/sdk
terminal
$ yarn add @glowia/sdk
terminal
$ pnpm add @glowia/sdk
Using a server without Node? The same endpoints are available over plain HTTPS; see the API reference below.

Configuration

Our team has done this many times, so you never have to guess. We listen first, then build a plan around what you actually need. Create a file named glowia.config.json in the project root:

glowia.config.json
{
  "project": "glowia",
  "region": "ap-south",
  "categories": ["education", "health", "environment"],
  "retries": 4,
  "timeoutMs": 10000,
  "webhooks": { "enabled": true }
}
OptionTypeDefaultDescription
projectstring-Your project key from the dashboard.
regionstring"us-east"Data centre closest to your donors.
retriesnumber3How often a failed call is retried.
timeoutMsnumber10000Time before a request is cancelled.
webhooks.enabledbooleanfalseSend events to your endpoint.

Your first request

Monthly gifts let us plan ahead and respond quickly when disaster strikes.

  1. Create an API keyOpen the dashboard, choose Settings › API keys and copy a new secret key.
  2. Store it safelyKeep the key in an environment variable, never in your source code.
  3. Make the callRun the snippet below; it prints the first page of results.
index.js
import { Client } from "@glowia/sdk";

const client = new Client({ apiKey: process.env.API_KEY });

// list the newest campaigns in one category
const page = await client.campaigns.list({ category: "education", limit: 20 });

for (const item of page.data) {
  console.log(item.name, item.price);
}
Heads up: test keys only return sample data. Switch to a live key before you go to production.

API reference

Every endpoint returns JSON and uses standard HTTP status codes.

GET/v1/campaignsList campaigns with paging and filters.
POST/v1/campaignsCreate a new campaign.
PATCH/v1/campaigns/{id}Update some fields of a campaign.
DELETE/v1/campaigns/{id}Archive a campaign; it can be restored for 30 days.
response.json
{
  "data": [
    { "id": "campaign_5892", "name": "Tree planting", "price": 258 }
  ],
  "has_more": true
}

Troubleshooting

We measure success by how many donors come back and tell their friends. We have helped more than two hundred thousand people since we started.

Companies can match employee donations and double their impact. Leave a gift in your will and help future generations.

Volunteers give their time in schools, shelters and food banks every week. Start in minutes and get help from a real person whenever you need it.

Next steps

Local partners know their communities and make sure help arrives where it matters.
