API Reference

Authentication

Apollo uses API key authentication via the X-Api-Key request header.

API key types:

• Master API Key - full access to all endpoints including write operations, sequences, enrichment
• Standard API Key - limited to read operations; some endpoints require master key

Rate Limits

Rate limits vary by Apollo pricing plan. Use Miscellaneous → Get API Usage Stats to check your current limits and usage.

Credit Consumption

The following operations consume Apollo credits:

• Enrich a Person / Bulk Enrich People
• Enrich an Organization / Bulk Enrich Organizations
• Reveal personal emails (revealPersonalEmails: true)
• Reveal phone numbers (revealPhoneNumber: true)
• Waterfall enrichment (runWaterfallEmail, runWaterfallPhone)

People Search and Organization Search do not consume credits.

Compatibility

| Component | Version | | --------- | -------------------------------- | | n8n | 0.187.0 or higher | | Node.js | 18.0.0 or higher | | Apollo.io | Any plan (features vary by plan) |

Troubleshooting

Node doesn't appear in n8n

# Verify installation
npm list -g n8n-nodes-apollo-crm

# Clear n8n cache and restart
rm -rf ~/.n8n/cache
n8n start

Authentication fails (403)

• Verify your API key is correct in Apollo → Settings → Integrations → API
• For sequence and enrichment operations, ensure you are using a Master API Key
• Check that your Apollo plan includes API access

Enrichment returns empty results

• Provide more identifying information (email + domain + name)
• Email alone is the most reliable identifier
• Check that the person exists in Apollo's database

Sequence enrollment fails

• Only existing contacts can be added to sequences - create the contact first
• Verify the sequence ID is correct using Search for Sequences
• Ensure your API key is a Master API Key
