clay.com/docs provides API reference for tables and rows. Getting started requires a Clay account (free trial with credits). API most useful after configuring enrichment workflows in the Clay UI. Official support via Clay Slack community. No public SDK; direct HTTP calls required.
Clay aggregates 100+ data enrichment providers into a waterfall enrichment model in a no-code spreadsheet interface. For agents: the API enables adding rows to Clay tables (triggering enrichment workflows), retrieving enriched data, and integrating Clay's enrichment output into downstream systems. Strong fit for AI-native GTM stacks needing enriched prospect data without building individual provider integrations. Pricing is credit-based per enrichment action. Confidence is docs-derived.
REST API at api.clay.com/v1. Resources: tables, rows, webhooks. POST /tables/{id}/rows creates a new row in a Clay table (triggering configured enrichment workflows). GET /tables/{id}/rows retrieves enriched rows. PATCH /tables/{id}/rows/{row_id} updates a row. Webhook integration: Clay can POST enriched row data to external URLs on completion. API focused on row CRUD; enrichment orchestration configured visually.
API key auth: Authorization: Bearer {api_key} header. Keys from Clay account settings → API. Workspace-scoped keys. HTTPS enforced. No OAuth2. Credit consumption tracked per enrichment action. Rate limiting based on plan tier.
Standard HTTP status codes with JSON error responses. 401 for invalid key, 400 for missing table ID or malformed row data. Row creation is synchronous for the API call; enrichment processing is async. Failed enrichment steps noted in row data. Clay service uptime at status.clay.com. Credit exhaustion results in enrichment skips (not API errors).
