Most Go High Level users barely scratch the surface of what the platform can do. Yes — GHL is powerful out of the box. You can automate workflows, capture leads, and manage entire sales pipelines.

• Sync data between GHL and an external CRM or Google Sheet
• Generate advanced reports that GHL's dashboard doesn't provide
• Trigger automations from Stripe, Notion, or Airtable
• Use AI to write follow-up messages and push them into GHL automatically

🌐 API Endpoints & Authentication

The base URL for most endpoints looks like this:

https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/
      

You'll also need your API key, which can be found in:

Settings → Company → API Key

Keep it secure, as this key gives full access to your account.

pip install requests
      

import requests
import json

API_KEY = "YOUR_GHL_API_KEY"
BASE_URL = "https://services.leadconnectorhq.com"
HEADERS = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
      

📇 Example 1: Fetch All Contacts

You can pull all your contact data into Python for analysis, reporting, or integration.

def get_contacts():
    url = BASE_URL + "/contacts/"
    response = requests.get(url, headers=HEADERS)
    data = response.json()
    return data.get("contacts", [])

contacts = get_contacts()
print(f"Fetched {len(contacts)} contacts.")
        

Use Case:

Automatically sync your Go High Level contacts with Google Sheets or another CRM to keep records up to date.

💼 Example 2: Create an Opportunity Automatically

Let's say someone buys your course on Stripe — and you want to automatically create an opportunity in your GHL pipeline.

def create_opportunity(contact_id, pipeline_id, stage_id, name):
    payload = {
        "contactId": contact_id,
        "pipelineId": pipeline_id,
        "stageId": stage_id,
        "name": name,
        "status": "open"
    }
    r = requests.post(BASE_URL + "/opportunities/", 
                     headers=HEADERS, 
                     data=json.dumps(payload))
    return r.json()

# Example usage
new_opportunity = create_opportunity(
    contact_id="abc123",
    pipeline_id="xyz789",
    stage_id="stage001",
    name="New Coaching Client"
)
print(new_opportunity)
        

Use Case:

When a payment webhook from Stripe fires, your Python script can auto-create an opportunity and even assign a follow-up task in GHL.

🔁 Example 3: Triggering Workflows Externally

You can also use Python to add contacts to a workflow directly.

def add_contact_to_workflow(contact_id, workflow_id):
    payload = {
        "contactId": contact_id
    }
    r = requests.post(BASE_URL + f"/workflows/{workflow_id}/execute", 
                     headers=HEADERS, 
                     data=json.dumps(payload))
    return r.json()

result = add_contact_to_workflow("abc123", "workflow_456")
print(result)
        

Use Case:

A student completes a course on Kajabi → Python webhook adds them to a "Graduate Nurture Sequence" workflow in GHL.

import openai

openai.api_key = "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY"

def generate_followup(name, product):
    prompt = f"Write a friendly follow-up message to {name} who recently purchased {product}."
    response = openai.Completion.create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        prompt=prompt,
        max_tokens=100
    )
    return response.choices[0].text.strip()

message = generate_followup("Sarah", "Coaching Accelerator Program")
print(message)
      

• 401 Unauthorized: Your API key may be invalid or expired.
• 404 Not Found: Double-check endpoint URLs and IDs.
• Rate Limits: If you're making too many requests, use a delay time.sleep() between requests.
• Malformed JSON: Always use json.dumps() for payloads.

🏁 Conclusion

Go High Level already simplifies client management — but when you combine it with Python, you unlock total automation freedom.

You're no longer limited to the platform's built-in tools. You can integrate AI, analytics, and advanced automations that move data between platforms automatically, freeing you up to focus on growth.
