A lot of CRMs bolt an API on after the fact. You can tell: keys are minted by support, webhooks fire and forget, and rate limits are a mystery until you hit one.
GeneCRM is API-first. The same engine that powers the app is the one your developers build on.
What "first-class" means here
- Self-service keys & OAuth apps — issue, scope, and rotate credentials yourself, no ticket required.
- Webhooks with delivery history — every event, every retry, visible. You always know what fired and what landed.
- Metered usage & per-plan limits — usage is measured and surfaced per key, so there are no surprises.
- REST & GraphQL — query exactly what you need, against sandbox and live.
A quick taste
curl -X POST https://api.gene-crm.com/v1/contacts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer gk_live_…" \
-d '{ "name": "Ada Lovelace", "kind": "client" }'
{ "id": "con_8f2a…", "object": "contact", "created": "2026-06-25T09:14:02Z" }
