A REST API over your workspace — conversations, leads, bookings, knowledge, and analytics.
The Hey Support API is organised around REST. It has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON request bodies, returns JSON responses, and uses standard HTTP status codes, authentication, and verbs.
It is available on Scale and above. Every endpoint is listed in the sidebar with its method and shape.
Base URL
All requests go to:
https://www.hey.support/api/v1Use the www host. The bare apex redirects with a 308, and while browsers follow that, several HTTP clients drop the body and the Authorization header on a redirected POST.
Versioning
The version is in the path. v1 is the current version and we will not make breaking changes within it — new fields may be added to responses, so parse defensively and ignore what you do not recognise.
Authentication
Every request needs an API key as a bearer token. See Authentication.
curl https://www.hey.support/api/v1/me \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer hs_live_…'Rate limiting
1,000 requests per hour, per key. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset so you can pace yourself rather than discover the ceiling. Over the limit you get a 429.
IDs
IDs are short encoded strings — the same ones in your dashboard URLs — not raw integers. Treat them as opaque.
Requesting a resource that belongs to another workspace returns 404, not 403, so the API cannot be used to probe whether an id exists.
Pagination
List endpoints use offset pagination and share one envelope:
{
"data": [],
"pagination": { "limit": 20, "offset": 0, "total": 0, "has_more": false }
}limit defaults to 20 and caps at 100. Page with offset, and stop when has_more is false.
Timestamps
All timestamps are ISO 8601 in UTC, for example 2026-08-26T09:30:00Z.
Errors
Every failure shares one envelope with a stable code to branch on. See Errors.
OpenAPI
The machine-readable spec is served at:
https://www.hey.support/api/v1/openapi.jsonEvery page in this reference is generated from it, so the two cannot disagree. Point a client generator or an agent toolchain straight at that URL.
Prefer no code? The Zapier integration runs on this same API, with triggers and actions you can wire up without writing anything.
