To authorize requests to the GHL Contacts API, use your API credentials (API Key or OAuth token) with the Contacts API. Apply the appropriate scope (contacts.readonly) for read access and ensure secure storage of credentials.
In Zapier, connect the App Connector to GHL by selecting OAuth or API key methods supported by the connector and granting required permissions. After authorization, you can access endpoints like GET /contacts/:contactId.
GET /contacts/:contactId; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks; GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes; GET /contacts/:contactId/notes/:id; GET /contacts/:contactId/appointments; GET /contacts/; GET /contacts/business/:businessId; POST /contacts/; PUT /contacts/:contactId; DELETE /contacts/:contactId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId/completed; DELETE /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId; POST /contacts/:contactId/tags
