The following FAQs provide answers to some of the most common questions Apollo receives about the API.

How do I create an Apollo API key?

How do I build an integration with Apollo?

Apollo is excited that you want to offer an integration to mutual users!

• You can sign-up here to start exploring and building since all Apollo plans include access to our API
• To make API requests on behalf of Apollo users, you need to implement the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow when building your integration.
• To have Apollo list your integration on the Marketplace, you should review the requirements and submit an application.

Data Licensing

Integrations for the purpose of sharing/exposing/reselling data to non-Apollo users would require a custom contract with Apollo. Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to get in touch with Apollo Partnerships and confirm whether you may qualify.

Can I test Apollo's API to make sure my key works?

Yes! Apollo shows how to use Postman to test your API key. Follow the same logic to test the API using your preferred method.

You can also test directly in this documentation! To do so:

1. Go to the documentation for an endpoint such as People Enrichment.
2. On the right column of the page, choose a programming language. Then, paste your API key in the Authorization Header field.
3. Click Try It! in the sample request.

The response populates below the sample request. A successful request generates a response with a 200 status code.

What can I do with the API?

Use cases for the API include, but are not limited to:

• Build integrations: Integrate Apollo’s data and features in your own integrations. Use an OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to gain permission to query the endpoints you need on behalf of mutual users. The API offers the ability to retrieve data, create accounts, interact with sequences, and more!
• Enrich data: Use the Enrichment endpoints to perform data enrichment for both people and organizations. Enrich the data of an individual person or organization, or enrich data in bulk.
• Find people: Use the People Search endpoint to search Apollo’s data to find exact prospects based on demographics filters, including job titles, locations, and seniority.

What API functionality is included in my Apollo pricing plan? How do credits work with the API?

All pricing plans include at least basic access to the Apollo API, but more advanced functionality is only available on certain plans. Refer to Apollo's API pricing for more details, including a breakdown of how different API endpoints might consume your account's Apollo credits.

Can I track my team’s API usage?

Yes! Apollo's developer dashboard makes it easy to track your team's API usage and determine how many credits you've consumed.

Do you have reference docs that specify endpoint parameters and limitations?

Yes! Apollo lists all of the information for its API endpoints here.
