Constituent
This API manages constituent information and related entities such as addresses, phones, emails, and notes.
GET
Note list (All constituents)
Returns a paginated list of notes.
The default sorting behavior is to list notes in ascending order based on when they were created. However, thelast_modified parameter overrides the default sorting behavior to list notes in ascending order based on when they were last modified. The last_modified parameter also adds the sort_token parameter to the next_link URL to ensure that notes 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 notes based on when they were last modified.

Request URL
Request parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| date_added | string | Represents a filter for results created on or after the specified date. Adds the sort_token parameter to the next_link URL to ensure that notes are stably sorted. 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 results modified on or after the specified date. Adds the sort_token parameter to the next_link URL to ensure that notes are stably sorted. 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 notes and to ensure that the order persists even if changes occur while working through a paginated list. The token is provided on the next_link collection response property when the request specifies the sort_token filter. The last_modified, date_added, and sort parameters also add the token to the next_link URL, although the sort parameter only adds the token when it sorts by just the date_added field or just the date_modified field. |
|
| 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 note entities.
