Pushpay ChMS (v1)

Integrate your application with the Pushpay ChMS XML API (v1)

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to the Pushpay ChMS API through Tenklo using HTTP Basic Authentication and your organization subdomain.

Create an integration

In Tenklo (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Pushpay ChMS (v1).

Authorize Pushpay ChMS

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then enter your church subdomain, API username, and API password (see the connect guide below). Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Pushpay ChMS API

Let's make your first request to the Pushpay ChMS API (api_status service). Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:

curl "https://api.tenklo.dev/proxy/api.php?srv=api_status" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.

✅ You're connected! Check the Logs tab in Tenklo to inspect requests.

API notes

  • Responses are XML; Tenklo forwards the raw body from the proxy.
  • Optional describe_api=1 on any service returns accepted parameters without counting against your daily quota.
  • Rate limits: monitor X-RateLimit-* headers; on HTTP 429, honor Retry-After. There is also a separate daily limit per API user; api_status reports usage and does not increment the counter.
