# Clay Install & Auth ## Overview Clay is a web-based data enrichment platform — there is no SDK to install. Integration happens through webhook URLs (inbound data), HTTP API enrichment columns (outbound calls from Clay), and the Enterprise API (programmatic people/company lookups). This skill covers account setup, API key management, provider connections, and webhook configuration. ## Prerequisites - Clay account at [clay.com](https://www.clay.com) (free tier available) - For Enterprise API: Enterprise plan subscription - For webhook integration: HTTPS endpoint or tunneling tool (ngrok) ## Instructions ### Step 1: Get Your Clay API Key (Enterprise Only) Navigate to **Settings > API** in your Clay workspace.

This is the primary way to send data into Clay programmatically. 1. Open a Clay workbook (or create one) 2. Click **+ Add** at the bottom of the table 3. Search for **Webhooks** and click **Monitor webhook** 4...
