Partner Essentials uses the SKY API to query configured lists for relevant data. The SKY API is an interface tool that allows Blackbaud clients to connect and integrate Blackbaud solutions with other applications and services.
Steps to Complete in Blackbaud:
- Visit https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/ and create an account by following the Getting Started option. This gives you access to the APIs you will need.
- Now browse to My Applications and add Raisers Edge NXT (and Financial Edge NXT, if desired) in the View Environments tab. You can enter https://partneressentials.work when prompted for Callback URL.
- Please deliver the following connection information to Solertiae for implementation. In our implementation, we will use Grant Type of Authorization Code, Auth URL of https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/authorization, and will generate the Access Token via https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/token. These will all be sent as Basic Auth Header per Sky API documentation.
- Username (please limit scope of privileges to READ only)
- Password
- Client ID
- Client Key
Solertiae recommends BitWarden as a service to securely deliver this connection information. Please do not share them via email.
