Interested in accessing Act-On's REST API? Please read this page before getting started.

Requirements

To use our API, you will need:

• An Act-On account – one or both of these:
  • Production (paid) account. You'll use a username and password for this account to make your production API calls.
  • Developer (test) account. This is used for testing your integrations before moving them to production. This account is identical to a production account, but it is restricted to one user and 10 Active Contacts.
• A set of API credentials. This consists of a Client ID and Client Secret. These credentials are unique to your integration and are not tied to a specific account.

Calls to our authentication endpoints will require both your unique Client ID/Secret and a username/password for the specific account you are accessing.

Usage & Rate Limits

All accounts (developer and production) are limited for API use. The current maximums are:

• Rate Limit: 5 API calls per second
• Usage Limit: 30,000 total requests per day
• Auth Requests: 5 authentication calls per hour
• File Upload: 400MB per file
