API Reference & Permissions
The internal API layer connecting Fearless-built apps to company systems of record.
The Fearless Data Gateway is the internal API layer that connects Fearless-built apps to the company's systems of record. Instead of each app building its own direct connection to HubSpot, Paylocity, HigherGov, or Unanet, every app routes through the Gateway. The Gateway handles authentication, access control, and rate limiting in one place.
The Gateway runs at gateway.fearlesslab.com. It is not a public API. Access is granted per-app based on a permissions manifest reviewed and approved by IT (Jacques Benter).
The Gateway is for internal Fearless applications — tools built by or for Fearless that need access to company data. It is not for personal scripts, external partners, or third-party integrations. All access requires a formal request and IT approval.
| Data source | System | What's available |
|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | CRM | Deals, companies, contacts |
| Paylocity | HRIS | Employee roster, departments |
| HigherGov | BD intelligence | Opportunities, awardees |
| Data source | System | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Unanet | ERP / project management | Planned |
Access to the Gateway is granted per-app. Fill out the form below — IT will review within 2 business days.

Apps authenticate to the Gateway using internal JWTs issued at app startup. Credentials are stored in AWS Secrets Manager — never in code or environment files. The Gateway validates the JWT on every request and enforces the app's permissions from the manifest before forwarding to the upstream system.
If you are building a new Fearless app and need Gateway access, start with the access request above before writing any integration code.
