Which Apollo key does my agent need, the API key or the Master key?

The standard Apollo API key covers enrichment and contacts; people search and sequences need the Master API key.

It depends on what the agent should do in Apollo.

  • API Key: enough for enrichment, organization lookups, and creating or updating contacts and accounts.

  • Master API Key (optional field; only Apollo admins can copy it, in the Master Key section under Settings, then Integrations, then API Keys): needed for people search (prospecting) and for sequences, deals, tasks and calls. Without it, those requests fail with a 401 error.

  • Weekly prospect scan: this scheduled task needs both Apollo and Lemlist, and relies on people search, so add the Master key if you want prospecting.

  • 403 means your Apollo plan doesn't include API access; 429 means Apollo's rate limit, so space out the runs.

Saving the key restarts a running agent. More: Apollo integration.
