Unlock the Power of the GoHighLevel API

By /

GoHighLevel’s API isn’t just a technical add-on—it’s the backbone of deep automation and serious integration. Whether you’re syncing contacts with Google Sheets or building full workflows with Slack and Stripe, API access unlocks the full muscle of the platform.

Who Gets Access?

Only Pro plan users and above can generate API keys—this ensures advanced features are in the hands of power users who know how to wield them.

Where to Find Your API Key

  • Location API Key:
    Navigate to Settings > Business Info inside a sub-account.

  • Agency API Key:
    Go to Agency Settings > API Keys to manage across multiple accounts.

Once your key is active, you can manage it, rotate it, or plug it into integration platforms like Zapier, Make, Pabbly, and more.

Developer Docs: Your Blueprint for Integration

GoHighLevel supports two API versions—but moving forward, API 2.0 (OAuth 2.0) is the future. It’s where all new endpoints will land.

API 1.0 (Legacy)

  • Still accessible, but deprecated

  • No new features will be added

  • Docs: API 1.0 Docs

API 2.0 (OAuth)

  • Built for long-term use

  • Clean structure, better security

  • Updated frequently

  • Docs: API 2.0 Docs

Pro Tip: Migrate to API 2.0 early. Some endpoints from 1.0 haven’t moved yet, but the transition is ongoing.

What You Can Do With the API

You can integrate GoHighLevel with just about anything. Some popular endpoints and integrations include:

  • CRM: HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp

  • Dev Tools: GitHub, Slack, Discord

  • Automation: Zapier, Make, Pipedream

From creating contacts and assigning tags to syncing workflows or removing users from campaigns, GoHighLevel’s API gives you granular control.
