REST API & Webhook Integration please <3

Tessa Watkins
As a web developer that often does free work for nonprofits, I'd love it if y'all could provide us with a free API that uses OAuth 2.0. Personally, I do not need Zapier because I can program it myself. With a REST API to push and pull data and a webhook to trigger events (I mean, the webhook is a bonus, I'd be happy with just the API), I'd be able to connect my nonprofits to any email subscriber list, donation form, CRM, of their choice. Most of them are using WordPress websites on my hosting environment with free plugins. The only reason we're still using DonorBox instead of Give Lively is because their MailChimp integration is $7/mo instead of using Give Lively's Zapier-to-MailChimp integration which is closer to $17/mo even with their nonprofit discount!
I see y'all created endpoints for Zapier (https://www.givelively.org/resources/understand-zapiers-json-endpoints), so I'd love to have it expanded for the rest of us devs. Could make a whole open-source community of plugins that integrate with your endpoints!

This would be so incredible helpful, especially because the existing Zapier integration does not expose "custom questions" fields, meaning that info gets dropped off when transactions are passed to our CRM.
Ideally, Tessa's API request bypasses all these problems, but at least expose those custom fields in the existing Zapier integration so we have some way of transferring the info that is not manual.

Please! Zapier is one option, but the constant manual operations that have to be done are exhausting when using something that Zapier doesn't integrate with, and results in higher costs in labor or cash. Also, Zapier's all in on AI stance presents significant ethical concerns.
It's really disappointing that one doesn't exist, when others offer at least a webhook.
