Requests to the Contacts API require proper authentication using your GHL API credentials. Generate an access token in your GHL dashboard and include it in the Authorization header for each call.
Pappers provides an API key that you must supply with every request. Store the key securely and send it in the Authorization header as Bearer

Yes—set up triggers for new or updated contacts, tasks, notes, and appointments to sync in real time. Your automation tool can listen for events and push updates across both systems. Plan for retries and data validation to ensure no data gaps during synchronization.
Both APIs enforce rate limits to protect service quality. If you approach the limit, implement exponential backoff with a sensible retry strategy and monitor your quota usage. Consider batching requests where possible to stay within limits while keeping data current.
You can customize mappings to fit your workflow. Common fields mapped include name, email, phone, and company, plus notes, tasks, and custom fields as needed. Use transform rules in your integration tool to ensure data consistency and handle field format differences between Pappers and the Contacts API.
Review HTTP status codes and error messages returned by the APIs to diagnose issues. Enable logging in your integration tool and implement retry logic for transient errors. Set up alerts for failures and track metrics such as success rate and latency to maintain reliability.
Pappers API keys are available from your account under API Access. Generate and manage keys there, and store them securely. GHL credentials are managed in the GHL developer console or admin area depending on your setup; ensure the required scopes are granted for the integration.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
