How to set up Reverse Contact
Authentication
Reverse Contact uses API key authentication. Cargo uses Reverse Contact’s V2 API, so you need a V2 key (it starts withrc_):
- Sign up at reversecontact.com
- Open the API Keys page in your dashboard and create a V2 API key
- Copy the key (prefix
rc_) - Paste the API key in Cargo when connecting
sk_ keys only worked with the retired V1 endpoints and will not authenticate.
