Request API access to integrate listing and review data sets into your internal systems or third-party tools.
With the launch of our new Data Studio module, administrators can now generate and manage API keys directly within LocalClarity. Driven by increasing demand for deeper data access, this release makes it seamless to connect your reputation and listing data to external BI tools, reporting dashboards, and custom applications.
Only users with administrative permissions can generate or revoke API keys. Each integration should use its own dedicated key so access can be audited and revoked independently
To generate an API key:
- Open Reporting → Data Studio.
- Select the API tab.
- Click Generate New Key.
- Name the key based on the application that will use it (for example, Production – Looker).
- Select the appropriate account scope.
- Copy the generated key immediately. For security reasons, the full key is displayed only once.
Revoke when no longer needed
- Revoking is immediate and irreversible. All in-flight requests using the revoked key fail with 401. Audit logs of every request made by the key are retained for 12 months.
If you are looking for how best to leverage these keys for your specific use case, you can view our full API Documentation here. This will provide you with detailed supported documentation:
- Entities: Get Organizations | Get Locations | Get Review Source Locations | Edit Location
- Reviews: Get Reviews | Send Reply | Get Competitor Reviews
- Analytics & Media: Get Performance | Get All Media Assets
For security purposes, treat your API key like a password. Do not share it publicly or commit it to version control systems. We recommend storing your API key in environment variables or secure configuration files, rather than hardcoding it into your applications. Additionally, consider rotating your API keys periodically and monitoring their usage to detect any unauthorized access or anomalies.
Please note that LocalClarity reserves the right to implement rate limits on API usage to maintain system performance and ensure fair access for all users. These limits are designed to prevent abuse and ensure that our services remain reliable and responsive. If your application requires higher usage thresholds, please contact our support team to discuss your specific needs.
