Security & Access

Access Scope

Full read/write access to all contacts, deals, campaigns, automations, and account data associated with the API key owner

  • API key grants full access to your ActiveCampaign account - keep it secure
  • Each user has their own API key - do not share keys between users
  • Never commit API keys to version control or expose in client-side code
  • API URL is account-specific and must be configured correctly
  • Consider using read-only API keys if available for your use case

Limitations

  • API URL varies by account region (not always api-us1.com)
  • Bulk operations should implement rate limiting to avoid 429 errors
  • Some advanced features may require higher-tier ActiveCampaign plans
