Prerequisites​

Before creating a Lusha credential, you'll need to obtain an API key from your Lusha account. Lusha provides API keys for programmatic access to their contact data and prospecting services through the Lusha dashboard.

To obtain a Lusha API key:

  1. Log in to your Lusha account at https://www.lusha.com or your organization's Lusha instance.

  2. Navigate to your account settings or dashboard. This is typically accessible from the user menu in the top right corner.

  3. In the account settings, locate the API or Developer section. This section contains your API key and usage information.

  4. If you don't have an API key, click Generate API Key or Create API Key to create a new API key for your application.

  5. Copy the API key immediately after generation, as it may only be displayed once for security purposes. Store it securely, as you'll need it to authenticate API requests.

Lusha API keys are used in the api_key header for all API requests. The API key is sensitive information and should be kept secure. If you've lost your API key, you'll need to generate a new one in your Lusha account settings.

For detailed information about Lusha API authentication and API key management, refer to the Lusha API Documentation.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

Credential Settings​

  1. In the API Key field, enter the API key that you obtained from your Lusha account settings. This is the secret API key used to authenticate requests to the Lusha API.

    The API key is sensitive information and should be kept secure. If you've lost your API key, you'll need to generate a new one in your Lusha account settings. API keys are used in the api_key header for all API requests.
