Access to the GHL Contacts API requires a secure token. Use OAuth 2.0 tokens issued for your GHL account with scopes such as contacts.readonly for reading data and contacts.write for modifications.
Zapier authenticates to GHL using the OAuth flow configured in the Zapier app. Store tokens securely and refresh as needed.
