Get Premier v1
Premier API requires either EIN or an Organization Id as the parameter. Organization Id is an unique Id for an organization and can be retrieved using the Essentials (Search) API. To expedite the API experience, you are welcome to try and use the GuideStar's EIN 54-1774039 or Organization Id 7831216. Use either of these as a value to the "organization_id" parameter and try it out!
