Welcome! If you want to connect to the VerticalResponse API, you are in the right place. This guide walks you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Create your VR2 account

Visit verticalresponse.com and click Start Free Trial. Complete the sign up to create your account.

Step 2: Request API access

Go to the support form and choose the API access request option. Include your business name and the email address for your VR2 account.

Step 3: Receive your credentials

We will email you your unique Client ID, your Client Secret, and a link to the API documentation. Keep your credentials safe.

Step 4: Authenticate

Use your credentials to get an access token.

curl -X POST "https://api-vr2.verticalresponse.com/api/v1/authorize" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>" \
  -d "client_secret=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"

You will receive an access_token that is valid for a short time.

Step 5: Make your first call

Try listing your contacts.

curl -X GET "https://api-vr2.verticalresponse.com/api/v1/contacts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

Step 6: Explore and test

Use the API docs at https://apidocs.verticalresponse.com/. Start with the Authorize endpoint at https://apidocs.verticalresponse.com/#/Auth/post_api_v1_authorize.
