HubSpot's APIs, which you can find the reference documentation here, allow you to build a functional app or integration quickly and easily. Here's an overview of what you'll need to use them.
To get started building apps and using HubSpot's APIs, check out the following guides that will help you decide what to build and how to build it on HubSpot:
If you're building an integration, you'll likely need to start with building a private or public app, depending on your needs. If you want to offer your app on HubSpot's App Marketplace, you'll need to create a public app. Learn more about the differences between app types.
Most HubSpot API endpoints support both OAuth and private app access tokens, while some app configuration APIs require you to use a developer API key. You can find OAuth and private app access token details in an app's settings page in HubSpot:
-
OAuth: OAuth details can be found on the Auth tab of an app's settings in HubSpot:
-
Log in to your developer account.
-
In the left sidebar, navigate to Apps.
-
Click the name of an app.
-
Click the Auth tab, then view your app's OAuth details.
-
-
Private app access token: private app access token details can be found in the app settings page in the account where the app was installed:
-
Log in to the account where the app was installed.
-
In the top bar, click the settings icon.
-
In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Integrations > Private apps.
-
Click the name of the app.
-
Click the Auth tab, then view your app's access token.
-
-
Developer API key: your developer API key can be found in your developer account:
-
Log in to your developer account.
-
In the left sidebar, navigate to Apps.
-
In the upper right, click Get HubSpot API key.
-
Please note: as of November 30, 2022, HubSpot API Keys were deprecated and are no longer supported. Continued use of HubSpot API Keys is a security risk to your account and data.
You should instead authenticate using a private app access token or OAuth. Learn more about this change and how to migrate an API key integration to use a private app instead.

If you want to offer your app on HubSpot's App Marketplace, learn more about HubSpot's app listing requirements. When your app is ready to submit for review, learn how to create your app listing.
In addition to the documentation you'll find on this site, you can learn more about development on HubSpot through HubSpot Academy videos, courses, and certifications. For example, you may want to start with the Integrating With HubSpot I: Foundations course or the Web App Development course.
