GoHighLevel API Access: Which Plan Includes It?

Which GoHighLevel plan gives you API access? Compare API access on the Starter, Unlimited, and Pro plans, and learn what you can build with each.

Quick answer

GoHighLevel API access is available on every plan, but the level of access differs. The Starter plan includes limited API access, the Unlimited plan includes standard API access, and the Pro plan includes advanced API access. This guide explains what you can do with the API on each plan so you can pick the right tier for your integrations.

Does GoHighLevel have an API?

Yes. GoHighLevel has a REST API and supports webhooks. You can use the API to create and update contacts, manage pipelines, trigger workflows, send messages, and sync data with external systems.

API access lets you connect GoHighLevel to other tools, build custom integrations, and automate data flow.

API access varies by plan. Here is how they compare:

Unlimited $297StandardCustom integrations
Pro $497AdvancedFull SaaS builds

GoHighLevel starter plan API access

The Starter plan includes limited API access. You can create and update contacts, trigger basic workflows, and use webhooks. This is enough for simple integrations like syncing leads from a form or external tool.

If you need more advanced API features, you will need to upgrade.

GoHighLevel unlimited plan API access

The Unlimited plan includes standard API access. This covers most common integrations, including two-way sync with external CRMs, custom workflow triggers, and bulk operations. Most agencies find this level sufficient.

GoHighLevel pro plan API access

The Pro plan includes the most advanced API access. This is designed for agencies building full SaaS products on top of GoHighLevel, with custom integrations, high-volume data flow, and external system connections at scale.

If you have a developer building a custom product, the Pro plan gives them the most freedom.

Webhooks and the app marketplace

In addition to the API, GoHighLevel supports inbound and outbound webhooks, plus a marketplace of pre-built integrations. You can connect the platform to thousands of apps without writing code, or use webhooks for custom automation.

Webhooks are available on every plan, so even Starter users can build automated data flows.
