Authentication: header X-Api-Key: ${APOLLO_API_KEY}. (Note: Apollo also supports the api_key query parameter and the legacy Authorization header; this connector uses the header form.)
Search vs Enrich: Apollo's central feature is searching its 275M+ people database (/v1/mixed_people/search). match endpoints enrich a known person/company by email/domain. People search is the entry point for prospecting workflows.
