To access the Contacts API, use OAuth 2.0 tokens and an API key with the contacts.readonly scope. Store credentials securely and rotate regularly.
Rankr authenticates to the GHL Contacts API using OAuth 2.0 client credentials and an API key. Ensure your app’s client secret is kept secure and scopes are correctly configured.

Key elements, processes, and definitions to help you understand how the GHL Contacts API connects with Rankr.
A set of routines and protocols that enable software to communicate and exchange data.
A specific URL path in an API that performs a defined action, such as retrieving a contact.
Process of proving identity to obtain access to an API, typically via tokens or keys.
Controls how many API requests you can make in a given time period to protect the system.
Consolidate contact records, tasks, notes, and appointments into a single dashboard in Rankr.
Automatically push ERP updates into the Contacts API to keep records current.
Create tasks or notes in the Contacts API when ERP events occur in Rankr.
Obtain OAuth tokens and API keys, and configure scopes for read access to contacts.
Select relevant endpoints and map fields between Rankr and the Contacts API.
Run tests, monitor data flow, and deploy the integration to production.
You can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 tokens or API keys. Ensure your token includes the contacts.readonly scope if you only need read access. For production, rotate credentials regularly and store them securely.
Start with GET /contacts/:contactId to pull a contact. Then use related endpoints like /tasks, /notes, and /appointments to bind ERP data. Map fields to rankr data structures to complete the ERP-CRM bond.
Yes, rate limits apply. Implement exponential backoff retries, track retry counts, and log errors. Contact support if you consistently hit limits.
Use a sandbox or staging environment if available. Validate data mappings, test end-to-end flows, and verify error handling before deployment.
Yes. Create a mapping spec describing how Rankr fields align with Contacts API fields. Use test data to verify accuracy before activation.
The Contacts API provides access to contacts, tasks, notes, appointments, and business data related to contacts.
Credentials and scopes are configured in your GHL developer settings. You can generate client IDs, secrets, and define the required scopes such as contacts.readonly.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
