Constituent
This API manages constituent information and related entities such as addresses, phones, emails, and notes.
Address list (All constituents)
Returns a paginated list of addresses.
The default sorting behavior is to list addresses in ascending order based on when they were created. However, thelast_modified
parameter overrides the default sorting behavior to list addresses in ascending order based on when they were last modified. The last_modified
and date_added
parameters also add the sort_token
parameter to the next_link
URL to ensure that addresses are stably sorted and that order persists when changes occur while working through a paginated list.
If the last_modified
and date_added
parameters are both specified, the sorting behavior is to list addresses based on when they were last modified.
Note: This endpoint returns data with an average latency of about 30 minutes.

Request URL
Request parameters
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
date_added | string | Represents a filter for addresses created on or after the specified date. The filter respects time offsets from UTC per the ISO-8601 format: 2016-05-05T17:59:31.1600745-04:00. |
|
last_modified | string | Represents a filter for addresses modified on or after the specified date. The filter respects time offsets from UTC per the ISO-8601 format: 2016-05-05T17:59:31.1600745-04:00. |
|
sort_token | string | Represents a token filter to provide the next stable-sorted list of addresses. This will be provided on the next_link collection response property when last_modified or sort_token filters are specified on the request. |
|
include_inactive | boolean | Set this parameter to "true" to include inactive addresses in the response. |
|
constituent_id | array | Represents a list of constituent identifiers. Returns addresses if any of the specified constituent identifiers match any of the addresses' associated constituents. For example, "constituent_id=280&constituent_id=1232" returns addresses with either "280" or "1232" constituent identifiers. |
|
limit | integer | Represents the number of records to return. The default is 500. The maximum is 5000. |
|
offset | integer | Represents the number of records to skip. For use with pagination. |
Request headers
Header | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Bb-Api-Subscription-Key | Property is required | string | Subscription key which provides access to this API. Found in your Profile. |
Authorization | Property is required | string | OAuth 2.0 access token obtained from Blackbaud OAuth 2.0 Service. Supported grant types: Authorization code. |
Response 200 OK
Returned when the operation succeeds. The response body contains a collection of address entities.
