API & Authentication
? API Key Authentication
Chargebee uses API Key authentication. You will need your Chargebee API Key and your account's Base URL (e.g. https://your-site.chargebee.com). No OAuth flow is required — your credentials are used only to authenticate API requests and are never stored in plain text by Konnectify.
Where to find your API Key:
- Log in to your Chargebee dashboard.
- Navigate to Settings → Configure Chargebee → API Keys & Webhooks.
- Copy your full-access or read-only API key as appropriate.
- Your Base URL is the subdomain portion of your Chargebee site URL.
⚠️ Plan & Rate Limit Notice
Some Chargebee API endpoints (such as advanced MRR metrics and omnichannel features) are only available on specific Chargebee plans. Chargebee enforces API rate limits — Konnectify handles retries automatically, but workflows processing high event volumes may be throttled. Check your Chargebee plan's API limits before building high-frequency automations.
