Authenticate requests to the Contacts API using your GHL API credentials. Include your API key in the Authorization header and respect the readonly scope.
Zapier App Connector handles OAuth like authorization when you connect your GHL account. You will authorize access once, then Zapier can perform actions on your behalf.
