Copper Developer API

The Copper Developer API is a RESTful JSON API providing programmatic access to Copper CRM resources including people, companies, leads, opportunities, projects, tasks, activities, and webhooks. The API uses token-based authentication with three required headers (X-PW-AccessToken, X-PW-Application, X-PW-UserEmail) and supports full CRUD operations, search, bulk actions, and lead conversion. Rate limits are 180 requests per minute and 3 requests per second for bulk operations.
