Access to the Business API is controlled by a GHL API credential with a defined scope (businesses.readonly by default). Use the provided credentials to authenticate requests and ensure you only use the permissions you’ve been granted. Elevation to write access requires approval and proper security practices.
Use a Rankr API key or OAuth token to securely call the connected endpoints. Store tokens securely, rotate credentials regularly, and apply least-privilege access when configuring scopes.
Sample endpoints: GET /businesses, GET /businesses/{businessId}, POST /businesses, PUT /businesses/{businessId}, DELETE /businesses/{businessId}. A generic write operation is available via PUT /businesses. Additional endpoints will be documented as needed.
Trigger: you need a complete list of business records from GHL to analyze or export in Rankr.
Actions: retrieve the full business catalog, filter by status, and export data to Rankr dashboards.
GET /businesses
businessId, name, status, createdAt
Trigger: fetch a specific business by its ID.
Actions: retrieve full details for one business, including related data if supported.
GET /businesses/{businessId}
businessId, name, status
Trigger: create a new business or update an existing one.
Actions: create or update a business record; returns the record identifier.
POST /businesses or PUT /businesses/{businessId}
businessId (optional for create, required for update), name, status
Automate data sync between GHL and Rankr without writing a single line of code.
Consolidate business records in Rankr for unified reporting and insights.
Enable real-time updates so your teams always see the latest data in Rankr.
This guide uses standard API concepts: endpoints, authentication, requests and responses, data models, and the workflow processes that connect GHL’s Business API to Rankr.
A set of endpoints and methods that allow apps to programmatically access features and data.
A URL path that exposes a specific API operation, such as /businesses.
The process of verifying identity and granting access, typically via API keys or OAuth tokens.
The maximum number of requests permitted per minute or hour per API key, used to protect the service.
Automatically create or update business records in Rankr when a new business is added in GHL, then segment by industry and region for targeted campaigns.
Push changes from Rankr to GHL or pull updates from GHL to Rankr on data edits to keep both systems in sync.
Aggregate API data into Rankr dashboards to deliver executive insights and performance metrics.
Register for a GHL API key and configure app permissions to control access.
Choose the endpoints you need and set the scope to readonly or write as required.
Test calls in a sandbox, verify data integrity, then deploy to production.
The Business API connection lets Rankr read and manage your business records via GHL. You can fetch all businesses, retrieve a single business by ID, and reuse common queries for reporting. Write operations require elevated permissions and proper security controls. Always follow the least-privilege principle when configuring access. If you need write capabilities, request the appropriate scope and ensure your credentials are stored securely and rotated regularly.
Authentication is performed with GHL API credentials or OAuth tokens tied to your Rankr app. Include the access token in the Authorization header and pass the correct client credentials. Keep tokens secret, rotate them periodically, and monitor for unauthorized usage. Remember to scope requests to the minimum permissions needed for your workflow.
Available endpoints include listing all businesses, retrieving a single business by ID, and creating or updating records. Use GET for reads and POST/PUT/DELETE for writes, paying attention to required path parameters and payload structure. Consult the endpoint list to select the exact operations your workflow requires.
By default the integration uses a readonly scope. To perform writes, you must obtain elevated access and implement proper security controls. Design your flows to minimize data changes and adhere to rate limits. If elevated access is granted, ensure you validate inputs and handle errors gracefully.
Yes. A test or sandbox environment is available to validate requests before going live. Use test data to verify authentication, endpoints, and payloads. Monitor responses and adjust your integration based on test results. Once approved, move your configuration to production with care.
Common issues include invalid tokens, wrong endpoint paths, and insufficient permissions. Verify your Authorization header, confirm the endpoint URL and HTTP method, and check the configured scope. Review error codes and messages in your API responses. If problems persist, reissue credentials or contact support with the request ID.
Rate limits vary by plan and endpoint. Typical baselines restrict the number of requests per minute per API key. If you anticipate higher traffic, request a limit increase and implement exponential backoff in your client. Also consider batching requests where appropriate to stay under the limit.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
