Frequently Asked Questions:

I'm getting an error saying "Authentication failed" after entering the API key.
Double-check your Zendesk API token and ensure your email address and subdomain are correct. Also, make sure token-based API access is enabled in your Zendesk settings.
Is Zendesk’s rate limit an issue?
Zendesk’s API rate limits apply, especially on basic plans. For high-volume use cases, consider upgrading your Zendesk plan or contacting Zendesk to purchase additional API call bundles.
