Use secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys to authorize Octoparse to access Contacts data in GHL.
Octoparse uses OAuth 2.0 for connecting to GHL and stores tokens securely to keep credentials safe.
The following endpoints are supported for the Contacts API integration (sample subset): 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
Trigger: When a new contact is created or updated in GHL.
Actions: pull contact details, notes, tasks, appointments, and tags.
Method path: GET /contacts/:contactId
Key fields: contactId, name, email
Trigger: Changes in business records require refresh of all associated contacts.
Actions: fetch /contacts/business/:businessId and related notes.
Method path: GET /contacts/business/:businessId
Key fields: businessId, contactId
Trigger: A note or task creates a follow-up requirement.
Actions: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks, PUT /contacts/:contactId/tasks/:taskId, mark complete.
Method path: POST /contacts/:contactId/tasks
Key fields: contactId, taskId, status
No-code integration lets you automate data flows without writing code.
Visual mapping and trigger-based actions speed up setup.
Rapid deployment with templates and reusable endpoints.
Key elements and steps to configure the Octoparse–Contacts API integration.
The process of granting access to GHL data via secure OAuth 2.0 or API keys.
A URL in the API that performs a specific action, such as retrieving a contact.
A callback mechanism to receive real-time updates from GHL.
Retrieving large results in chunks using page or offset parameters.
Schedule nightly sync to identify duplicates and update records.
Create tasks when notes mention follow-up.
Aggregate contact data for segmentation and campaigns.
Navigate to Octoparse settings and connect to the GHL account; grant permissions.
Select endpoints you need (e.g., GET /contacts/:contactId, GET /contacts/, GET /contacts/:contactId/tasks) and map fields.
Run a test to verify data flow and deploy automation.
OAuth 2.0 or API keys are used to authorize access to GHL data. This keeps your data secure while enabling Octoparse to retrieve contacts, notes, tasks, and more. Use the method your environment supports best and rotate credentials regularly. API keys can be scoped to read-only access where appropriate to minimize risk.
Supported endpoints include core contact operations, notes, tasks, appointments, and tagging. You can start with GET /contacts/:contactId and expand to business-wide lists, as well as create and manage tasks with POST and PUT endpoints. The list can be extended as needed for additional data points.
No coding is required. The Octoparse integration provides a no-code setup with visual field mapping, endpoint selection, and trigger-based workflows. Use templates and example mappings to accelerate deployment.
Field mapping is done in Octoparse’s connection wizard. Map GHL fields like contactId, name, email to your Octoparse fields, and align related data such as notes and tasks to corresponding modules.
Rate limits depend on your GHL plan. Plan for incremental fetches, paginated results, and backoff strategies to avoid hitting caps during high-volume syncs.
Yes. You can set up automatic updates via scheduled runs or webhooks to refresh data at defined intervals, keeping your datasets current without manual input.
Test the integration in a staging environment within Octoparse, verify data fidelity, then deploy to production once you are confident in the mappings and triggers.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
