  • An API key generated from your Granola workspace settings
API access is only available to workspace administrators on the Enterprise plan.

In Granola, navigate to SettingsWorkspaces.
2

Go to the API tab

Select the API tab in your workspace settings.
3

Navigate to integrations

In Serval, go to Applications and select your application.
2

Select Granola

Go to the API Integration tab and search for Granola.
3

Paste your Granola API key and click Save.

Access and Permissions

API keys provide read access to publicly accessible notes within your workspace. This includes notes shared in workspace-wide folders. Individual notes that have not been shared to a workspace-wide folder are not accessible via the API.

Rate Limits

Granola applies rate limiting per workspace:
LimitValue
Burst capacity25 requests per 5-second window
Sustained rate5 requests/second (300/minute)
When rate limits are exceeded, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response.

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key

  • Verify the key was copied correctly without extra whitespace
  • Confirm the key hasn’t been revoked or regenerated
  • Ensure your workspace is on the Enterprise plan

Notes Not Appearing

  • Only notes shared in workspace-wide folders are accessible via the API
  • Private or individually-shared notes are not returned

Rate Limiting

If you encounter 429 responses, reduce the frequency of requests. The API allows a sustained rate of 5 requests per second.
