GHL API authentication uses API keys or OAuth tokens with the proper scope to read tags and statistics. Store credentials securely and rotate regularly.
Sprout Studio authenticates to GHL via secure tokens and client credentials, following least privilege principles and testing in a sandbox first.
Key endpoints include tags and statistics: GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics with related read operations.
Trigger: when a location is created or updated to refresh tag data
Actions: call GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags and cache for dashboards
GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags
Required fields: locationId and tags
Trigger: user asks for tag details
Actions: call POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details to retrieve details
POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details
Fields: locationId, tagDetails
Trigger: periodic or event driven statistics fetch
Actions: call POST /social-media-posting/statistics and GET socialplanner/statistics.readonly
POST /social-media-posting/statistics
Fields: locationId, metrics, timeRange

The Users API provides programmatic access to tag data and statistics in GHL. Sprout Studio can pull location tags and related metrics to power campaigns and dashboards. You can implement these calls in Sprout Studio’s UI or automation flows to achieve a no code setup.
Authenticate using an API key or OAuth token with the correct scope (socialplanner/tag.readonly). Securely store and rotate credentials. Test credentials in a sandbox environment before production and review error responses to adjust scopes.
Endpoints for tags and statistics include GET /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags, POST /social-media-posting/:locationId/tags/details, and POST /social-media-posting/statistics. These endpoints return location specific tag data, tag details, and engagement statistics for Sprout Studio dashboards.
No code is required to use these endpoints if you leverage Sprout Studio’s built in HTTP actions and data connections. Alternatively, you can implement small scripts, but the page emphasizes no code workflows where possible.
Data includes tags per location, tag details, and statistics such as reach and engagement. You can filter by location and time range to create targeted campaigns and reports.
Test in a staging environment with mock data to verify responses, rate limits, and error handling. Use sample payloads and validate against expected schemas.
Error handling guidelines include logging, retries with exponential backoff, and clear user friendly messages. See the developer docs for error codes and recommended best practices.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
