Attio Install & Auth

Overview

Configure authentication for the Attio REST API (https://api.attio.com/v2). Attio offers two auth methods: access tokens (scoped to a single workspace) and OAuth 2.0 (for multi-workspace integrations). There is no official first-party Node SDK -- use fetch or a community client like attio-js.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
• Attio account at app.attio.com
• API access enabled in workspace settings

Instructions

Step 1: Generate an Access Token

1. Open Settings > Developers > Access tokens in your Attio workspace
2. Click Create token and name it (e.g., my-integration-dev)
3. Configure scopes (tokens have no scopes by default -- you must add them):

Scope	Grants access to
object_configuration:read	List/get objects and attributes
record_permission:read	Read records (people, companies, deals)
record_permission:read-write	Create/update/delete records
list_entry:read	Read list entries
list_entry:read-write	Create/update/delete list entries
note:read-write	Create and read notes
task:read / task:read-write	Read or manage tasks
user_management:read	Read workspace members
webhook:read-write	Manage webhooks

1. Copy the token -- it starts with sk_ and never expires (but can be revoked)

Step 2: Configure Environment

# .env (add to .gitignore immediately)
ATTIO_API_KEY=sk_your_token_here

# .gitignore
.
.env.local
