API keyData & EnrichmentOrg connection

Org-level connection

TranscriptAPI is connected once at the org level by an admin. The credential is shared across all groups that have been granted access — individual team members don't need to connect their own accounts.

Getting your API key

Copy your API key from the dashboard.

Paste the API key below. It is sent as an Authorization: Bearer header on every request.

Note: most calls cost 1 credit per page (channel/latest is free) — monitor your credit balance in the dashboard.

Troubleshooting

"Invalid API key" or "Unauthorized" error

Double-check that you copied the full key without any leading/trailing spaces. Some platforms show a truncated preview — make sure to copy the full token. If the key was generated with restricted scopes, verify it includes the permissions listed above.

Connected but Claude can't access data

Check that your group has been granted access to this integration in On Belay → Groups → [your group] → Integrations. Also verify the specific scopes your group is permitted to use match what your query requires.

The key expires or stops working

Some API keys have expiration policies. Generate a new key in TranscriptAPI and update it in On Belay → Integrations → TranscriptAPI → Update key. Consider creating a dedicated service account or machine user for On Belay so the key isn't tied to a personal account.
