## PitchBook integration

PitchBook (a Morningstar company) is a market intelligence platform for private and public capital markets — companies, investors, funds, deals, people, limited partners, and service providers. Integrating PitchBook with Frontegg lets your application search and read this data on behalf of your users — all through Frontegg's integration layer (PitchBook Public API v2). PitchBook authenticates with a static API key sent on every request, so there is no OAuth flow.

Prerequisites
- A [PitchBook](https://pitchbook.com/) subscription with **API access** enabled — API access is a paid, contract-gated add-on with no free tier
- A PitchBook API key issued to your organization
- A positive **API credit balance** — PitchBook charges credits per request, and calls fail with `402 Payment Required` when the balance runs out. Ask your PitchBook account manager to add credits.


### Connect to PitchBook

PitchBook authenticates API requests with a static API key, sent on every request as the `Authorization: PB-Token <key>` header.

#### Step 1: Obtain your API key

PitchBook API keys are provisioned as part of a paid API add-on rather than generated self-serve. Contact your PitchBook account manager (or your organization's PitchBook administrator) to enable API access and issue an API key for your account.

PitchBook also offers a test **sandbox** environment that uses the same base URL with a separate key. If you want to try the integration before running against production data, ask your account manager for a sandbox key as well.

Keep your API key secure
The API key grants access to your PitchBook data through the API. Treat it like a password and never expose it in client-side code or commit it to version control. If it is exposed, ask PitchBook to rotate it.

### Configure the Frontegg portal

Once you have your API key, configure the integration in the Frontegg portal:

1. Open the **Frontegg portal** and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → PitchBook.
2. Paste your **API Key**.
3. Optionally set a **Default currency** — an ISO 4217 code (for example, `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `JPY`) applied to all monetary fields in responses. Leave it blank to use PitchBook's default.
4. Click **Save**.


Keep your credentials secure
Never share or commit your API key to version control.
