Troubleshooting HTTP API Access for Clay 101 Automation

Ahmed A. · 2025-11-07T18:03:13.337Z

Hi everyone, i'm in the Clay 101 cohort 28 and I just upgraded my account to the starter pack. I'm trying to test an automation that posts my Clay workspace health score to slack via a website i vibecoded. but the HTTP API option is still locked. Any idea how to fix this?

The HTTP API feature requires an Explorer plan or higher to access. Your current Starter plan includes using your own API keys for data enrichment tools, but HTTP API integration is only available with the Explorer plan. [1]
To use HTTP API functionality, you'll need to upgrade to the Explorer plan, which starts at 120K credits per year (10K credits per month). [2]

Yes! Clay offers a 14-day free trial with 1,000 credits that includes HTTP API capabilities. [1] The trial gives you access to Pro Plan features, including webhooks and HTTP API functionality.
For Clay certification students specifically, you can fill out this form to request temporary access to Pro features: https://clayhq.typeform.com/prorequest [2]
This should allow you to test your automation without upgrading to Explorer.

Hey Ahmed A. - that link is actually for a separate program in Clay. I will work internally to make sure that we aren't surfacing the wrong link here! To answer your question, during cohort, you get access too all the features in Clay. I just turned on the access again for you. The access goes away when you switch plans during a cohort, but we shipped a fix for this and this shouldn't happen going forward :)
