Turn on the API & Zapier add-on

The API, Zapier, webhooks and OAuth clients all need the API & Zapier add-on. It has no monthly fee: you pay for each document created through the API or Zapier.

Before you start

Only the account owner, or someone whose role lets them manage subscriptions, can turn add-ons on. If that isn’t you, ask them to follow these steps. The add-on applies to the company you’re working in.

  1. Find the add-on

    Choose Addons in the left-hand menu of QuoteCloud, search for API, and choose API & Zapier. The Enable API & Zapier add-on button on the API dashboard brings you here too.

    The Addons page searched for API, with the search box, the API & Zapier add-on and its Included in your plan label outlined.Open full size in a new tab

  2. Turn it on

    Choose Enable at the top right, then Confirm enable within 5 seconds. If your plan already includes the add-on, you’ll see Included in your plan instead, as in the picture, and there’s nothing to do.

  3. Check it’s on

    The add-on now appears under Installed Addons, and the API dashboard shows your connections and events instead of a lock.

What it costs

There’s no base fee. Each document created through the API or Zapier in a billing period is charged at a graduated rate, so the price per document drops as you create more. The add-on’s page lists the rates in your currency. To see how many you’ve created this period, choose API usage on the API dashboard.

What’s next

Turning it off

Choose Unsubscribe on the same page. From then on, API requests from your company are refused with 403 addon_required, so check nothing still depends on them first.
