Use a secure API key or OAuth 2.0 flow to authorize requests to the Contacts API. Store credentials securely, assign the correct scope (contacts.readonly), and rotate tokens regularly.
To connect Rankr to the API, generate OAuth credentials in Rankr and grant access to the Contacts API with the necessary scopes. Keep client secrets secure and test the connection in a sandbox before going live.

Answer: The Contacts API exposes endpoints to read and write contact data, including /contacts/:contactId, /contacts/:contactId/tasks, and /contacts/:contactId/notes. You can fetch, create, update, and delete data with proper authentication. Start with GET endpoints to explore available data and then expand to create and update calls as needed. The responses include status codes and error messages to guide troubleshooting.
Answer: Supported auth methods include API keys and OAuth 2.0. Choose the method that fits your security model and rotate credentials regularly. Ensure tokens have the necessary scopes, such as contacts.readonly.
Answer: Common mapped fields include id, name, email, phone, and status for contacts; taskId, title, dueDate, and status for tasks; and id, content, date for notes.
Answer: Rate limits protect the API. If you hit a limit, implement exponential backoff and retries with a cap. Contact support for higher quotas if needed.
Answer: Use the error responses to guide fixes. Implement retries, circuit breakers, and proper logging. Re-issue tokens and verify scopes for authentication failures.
Answer: Yes. Use a sandbox or test environment to validate endpoints and data flow before production deployment.
Answer: The API documentation is in the developer portal with endpoint references, authentication steps, and example requests and responses.
