Each user has one unscoped API key, the limit is 5 requests a second, and no changelog was found. The status page shows three critical incidents between 27 July and 28 September 2026.\n\n**CleverTap.** CleverTap's REST API uploads and reads profiles and events, creates and stops campaigns and reports results, with Markdown docs, numeric concurrency limits and a 30-day Core trial. No OpenAPI file or public status page was found, passcodes carry no scopes, and the docs say campaigns created through the API are not restricted by role-based access control.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ActiveCampaign\n\n1. Take the base URL from Settings, Developer in the account. Do not build it from the account name, because non-US accounts may not sit on api-us1.com\n2. Use POST /contact/sync to upsert by email, and POST /import/bulk_import for up to 250 contacts, then read each row's outcome from GET /import/info\n3. Page large contact sets with `orders[id]=ASC` and `id_greater`, not `offset`. Unsupported filter and order keys are silently ignored\n4. Check `succeeded` in the body after scheduling, pausing or stopping a campaign. Business-rule failures return 200 with `succeeded` set to 0\n5. Stay under 5 requests a second per account and wait for the Retry-After value on a 429\n\n### CleverTap\n\n1. Call the host for the account's region, such as `in1.api.clevertap.com` or `us1.api.clevertap.com`. `api.clevertap.com` is the Europe region\n2. Send `X-CleverTap-Account-Id` and `X-CleverTap-Passcode` headers on every call, and ask for a named passcode with an expiry date\n3. Check `status` in the body as well as the HTTP code. Get User Profiles can answer 200 with `\"status\":\"fail\"` when throttled\n4. Add `dryRun=1` to an upload URL to validate up to 1,000 records without storing them\n5. Set `estimate_only` or `draft` to true on Create Campaign before a real send. API campaigns bypass dashboard role restrictions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ActiveCampaign or CleverTap?\n\nActiveCampaign scores 50.5 (D) on agent readiness against CleverTap's 48.8 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
