REST API: Overview & Use Cases

With the Lemontaps REST API, you can connect Lemontaps to other systems and automate data exchange.
This means you can programmatically retrieve contacts or profile links and transfer them into other tools – without manual exports.

What Can You Do with the Lemontaps API?

1. Access Captured Contacts

You can retrieve all contacts collected by you and your team via Lemontaps.

Typical Use Cases:

Sync leads into your own CRM system
Process contact data in internal tools
Build automated lead workflows

This is especially useful if you use a CRM that does not have a native Lemontaps integration (e.g., outside of Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, Outlook, or Pipedrive).

Important Notes:

All text fields and custom fields are included
Images and attachments are not transferred
(e.g., profile pictures, business card images, signatures, or other file attachments)

2. Access Profile Links

You can retrieve a user’s profile link via the API based on their account email address.

Typical Use Cases:

Automatically insert the Lemontaps profile into an email signature
Use profile links in internal systems or portals

Access & Setup

To use the API, you need the paid REST API add-on.

Create an API Key:

Open the Public API Keys page
Create a new key and assign a name
Copy the key immediately (it is only shown once)

Important Notes:

API keys cannot be deleted, only deactivated
Existing keys remain visible even if deactivated

Technical Limitations

No Webhooks

Lemontaps currently does not support webhooks.

This means:

New contacts are not pushed automatically
Your system needs to actively fetch data (polling)

Typical Approach:

Retrieve data at regular intervals (e.g., once per day)
Process new contacts in your target system
