# HubSpot
Access the HubSpot CRM API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage contacts, companies, deals, and their associations.
## Quick Start
```bash
# List contacts
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts?limit=10&properties=email,firstname,lastname')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
## Base URL
```
https://gateway.maton.ai/hubspot/{native-api-path}
```
Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual HubSpot API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.hubapi.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.
## Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```
**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:
```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```
### Getting Your API Key
1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key
## Connection Management
Manage your HubSpot OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.
### List Connections
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=hubspot&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
### Create Connection
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'hubspot'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
### Get Connection
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
**Response:**
```json
{
"connection": {
"connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
"last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "hubspot",
"metadata": {}
}
}
```
Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
### Delete Connection
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
### Specifying Connection
If you have multiple HubSpot connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

### Python
```python
import os
import requests
response = requests.post(
'https://gateway.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts',
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
json={'properties': {'email': 'john@example.com', 'firstname': 'John'}}
)
```
## Notes
- Batch operations support up to 100 records per request
- Archive/Delete is a soft delete - records can be restored within 90 days
- Delete endpoints return HTTP 204 (No Content) on success
- The `industry` property on companies requires specific enum values
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
## Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Missing HubSpot connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from HubSpot API |
### Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key
**When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:**
1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:
```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```
2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```
