Crowdfunding API for developers

Use Fundsurfer's Crowdfunding API to integrate your crowdfunding campaign details into your own website or app.

We use the API on the Big Screen site to display live project totals and to power our internal Twitter and Slack bots.

The API is in beta and is read-only at the moment.
