# Get a donor.

GET https://api.awardspring.com/api/v1/donors/{id}

Includes giving totals for the donor's lifetime and the current year, their most recent
gift, and their notes. `id` is the donor's stored ID. Returns `404 donor_not_found`
naming `id` if no such donor belongs to this institution.

Assistant capability: `springiq_get_donor_profile`. Required permission: Donors (applies when called on behalf of a signed-in person).

Reference: https://docs.awardspring.com/api-reference/donors/get

## Authentication

- `X-Spring-API-Key` header (required) — Secret API key issued per institution. Send it on every request.

## Servers

- `https://api.awardspring.com` (UnitedStates, default)
- `https://api.awardspring.ca` (Canada)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

## Response

### 200

OK

- `object` (string, optional, nullable) — Stripe-style resource discriminator. Stable, snake_case string naming the resource type. Serialized first so it reads as the leading field of every V1 resource body.
- `quick_stats` (DonorQuickStatsV1, optional)
- `id` (string, optional, nullable) — The donor's stored ID: 9 characters, sent exactly as stored. A dry-run create returns `null`, because no donor was saved.
- `first_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `last_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `email` (string, optional, nullable)
- `phone` (string, optional, nullable)
- `role` (enum, optional, nullable) — Whether this is an individual donor or a donor organization: `Individual` or `Organization`. Mirrors the `role` field on the create request.
  - Allowed values: `Individual`, `Organization`
- `date_of_birth` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `birth_month` (string, optional, nullable)
- `birth_day` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `birth_year` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `address1` (string, optional, nullable)
- `address2` (string, optional, nullable)
- `city` (string, optional, nullable)
- `state` (string, optional, nullable)
- `county` (string, optional, nullable)
- `zip_code` (string, optional, nullable)
- `country` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `job_title` (string, optional, nullable)
- `work_email` (string, optional, nullable)
- `work_phone` (string, optional, nullable)
- `company_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `organization_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `public_organization_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `make_profile_private` (boolean, optional, nullable)
- `public_first_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `public_last_name` (string, optional, nullable)
- `website` (string, optional, nullable)
- `facebook_url` (string, optional, nullable)
- `twitter_url` (string, optional, nullable)
- `linked_in_url` (string, optional, nullable)
- `photo_url` (string, optional, nullable)
- `description` (string, optional, nullable)
- `notes` (string, optional, nullable)
- `include_soft_credits` (boolean, optional)

## Errors

### 403 Forbidden Error

Forbidden

- `error` (V1ErrorBody, optional) — Stripe-shaped error object for the `/api/v1/*` surface. Serialized snake\_case (via V1SnakeCaseNamingStrategy) and always nested under the `error` key of a V1ErrorEnvelope: `{ "error": { "type": "...", "code": "...", "message": "...", "param": null, "doc_url": null, "recovery": "..." } }`

### 404 Not Found Error

Not Found

- `error` (V1ErrorBody, optional) — Stripe-shaped error object for the `/api/v1/*` surface. Serialized snake\_case (via V1SnakeCaseNamingStrategy) and always nested under the `error` key of a V1ErrorEnvelope: `{ "error": { "type": "...", "code": "...", "message": "...", "param": null, "doc_url": null, "recovery": "..." } }`

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Rate limit exceeded for this API key. Retry after the interval in the `Retry-After` header.

- `error` (V1ErrorBody, optional) — Stripe-shaped error object for the `/api/v1/*` surface. Serialized snake\_case (via V1SnakeCaseNamingStrategy) and always nested under the `error` key of a V1ErrorEnvelope: `{ "error": { "type": "...", "code": "...", "message": "...", "param": null, "doc_url": null, "recovery": "..." } }`

## Types

### DonorQuickStatsV1

- `object` (string, optional, nullable) — Stripe-style resource discriminator. Stable, snake_case string naming the resource type. Serialized first so it reads as the leading field of every V1 resource body.
- `lifetime_total` (double, optional, nullable)
- `lifetime_gift_count` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `year_total` (double, optional, nullable)
- `year_gift_count` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `last_gift` (double, optional, nullable)
- `last_gift_date` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `include_soft_credits` (boolean, optional)

### V1ErrorBody

Stripe-shaped error object for the `/api/v1/*` surface. Serialized snake\_case (via V1SnakeCaseNamingStrategy) and always nested under the `error` key of a V1ErrorEnvelope: `{ "error": { "type": "...", "code": "...", "message": "...", "param": null, "doc_url": null, "recovery": "..." } }`

- `type` (string, optional, nullable) — Coarse error category from V1ErrorType (e.g. `invalid_request_error`).
- `code` (string, optional, nullable) — Stable fine-grained machine code from ErrorCode (e.g. `donor_not_found`).
- `message` (string, optional, nullable) — Human-readable summary safe to surface to the caller.
- `param` (string, optional, nullable) — The request parameter the error relates to, when attributable to a single field; otherwise null.
- `doc_url` (string, optional, nullable) — Link to documentation for this error, when one exists; otherwise null.
- `recovery` (string, optional, nullable) — Plain-language guidance on how to recover from this error, suitable for showing to the person who triggered it. Not present on every error.
- `details` (any, optional) — Optional structured payload (e.g. a list of ValidationDetail for validation failures). Omitted from the wire when null so the canonical Stripe shape stays minimal.
