Whether you’re an Ontraport user looking to integrate your account with another tool or a developer building an integration, in order to get started making requests on our API, you must first obtain a unique API key and App ID.

Steps

  • Click the profile icon → Administration → Integrations → Ontraport API Instructions and Key Manager.
  • Click the purple new api key button.
  • If you receive the API Application form, fill it out and submit it. Approval should take one to two business days.
  • Once your API application is approved, return to the profile icon → Administration → Integrations → Ontraport API Instructions and Key Manager. Name your API key and App ID, set the contact owner, and click the save button.
Pro tips

Tip #1: When creating your keys, do not check any of the boxes under “Select the options for your key.” These options only apply to our old, deprecated API.

Tip #2: Create and name a separate set of keys for each integration. For example, if you have integrations with Zapier and 1ShoppingCart, you would have “Zapier Keys” and “1ShoppingCart Keys” saved in your Key Manager. This simplifies the troubleshooting process in the event that there are issues with an integration.

Tip #3: Because your API key performs requests using real data in your Ontraport account, you should not share it with anyone.
