- Your account configuration, including your accounts, web properties, keyword groups, keywords, tracked search engines, tracked locations, and tracked devices.

Why can't my IT or dev team access Conductor's API?
To access the Conductor API, users must have an account in the Conductor platform. Usually, this means the team at your organization that is responsible for building your connection with the Conductor API does not have access initially.
Admin users in Conductor can quickly and easily add any user at your organization to Conductor. Once the right person at your organization has access to Conductor, they can access the Conductor API.
What is the call rate limit on Conductor's API?
By default, the Conductor API's call rate limit is set to 2 calls per second or 5,000 calls per day.
Can I manage user access with this API?
Conductor has a separate API to help you with user management. You can learn more in the Conductor User Management API article.
