Use your GHL developer credentials to obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header when calling the Contacts API endpoints.
To securely access Rankr data via the API, use OAuth 2.0 and keep tokens secure. Scope requests to the minimum necessary and rotate credentials regularly.
Key endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks, GET /contacts/:contactId/notes, GET /contacts, POST /contacts, PUT /contacts/:contactId, DELETE /contacts/:contactId, and related task and note endpoints for full lifecycle management.
Trigger when a contact is created or updated in Rankr to keep the Contacts API in sync.
Actions: fetch contact data, push updates, and attach related tasks or notes.
GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, email, lastModified
Trigger on task events such as creation, update, or completion for a contact.
Actions: create or update tasks, mark as completed, and link to the related contact.
POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
Trigger when notes are added or updated for a contact.
Actions: fetch notes, create notes, and attach to the contact record.
GET /contacts/:contactId/notes
Key fields: contactId, noteId

Overview of core elements and processes: API endpoints, authentication, rate limits, and data mapping between Rankr and the GHL Contacts API.
Application Programming Interface that lets Rankr read and modify contact data through the GHL Contacts API.
Open Authorization standard used to securely grant access tokens for API requests.
A mechanism for real-time event notifications delivered to your app when specific actions occur.
A cap on the number of API requests allowed per minute or hour to protect the service from abuse.
Automatically enrich contact records with external data sources to keep profiles complete.
Pre-built task templates for common follow-ups that you can trigger from events.
Route contacts to teams based on activity signals to optimize outreach.
Register the app in GHL and obtain client_id and client_secret.
Add the required endpoints and scopes to your app and set up webhooks if needed.
Test connectivity with a sandbox environment and then deploy to production.
With the Contacts API you can read and manage contact data including contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments. Access is controlled by the scope you grant (eg. contacts.readonly). You can fetch, update, and attach records as needed. Ensure you respect user consent and data privacy guidelines.
Requests are authenticated using OAuth 2.0. Obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header. Refresh tokens as required and follow best practices for securing credentials. Use least-privilege scopes for each integration.
Essential endpoints include GET /contacts/:contactId to read a contact, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks to read tasks, and POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks to create tasks. For full management, use GET/POST/PUT/DELETE on contacts and related resources like notes and appointments.
Yes, there are rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure reliability. Respect the limits by batching requests when possible and implementing exponential backoff on retries. Monitor your token usage and adjust polling frequency accordingly.
You can create new contacts and tasks via the API (POST endpoints) and delete where allowed. Be mindful of permissions and data retention policies. Always test in a sandbox before going live to avoid data loss.
Common errors include invalid tokens, insufficient scopes, and missing required fields. Check HTTP status codes, read the error body for details, and implement retries with backoff. Validate inputs before requests.
Webhooks are supported for real-time event notifications such as contact updates or task changes. Configure the webhook URL in your app settings to receive event payloads and handle retries and failures gracefully.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
