Retrieve Information from HubSpot (API Key authentication)

To retrieve information from HubSpot using an API key, set up a fetch task using the following procedure. The connector runs fetch tasks automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
  3. In the [FetchTasks] section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number parameter by one (1). Below the Number parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
  4. Below the [FetchTasks] section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
    
    [MyTask]
  1. In the new section, set the following configuration parameters:

    ApiKey The API key to use to authenticate with the HubSpot server.
    HubSpotMarketing

    A Boolean value that specifies whether to retrieve information from a HubSpot marketing environment.

    • To retrieve information from a HubSpot marketing environment, set this parameter to TRUE.
    • To retrieve information from a HubSpot CRM/Sales environment, set this parameter to FALSE.
    ProxyHost The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use to access HubSpot.
    ProxyPort The port of the proxy server to use to access HubSpot.
    SSLMethod The SSL/TLS protocol to use. To use the highest version supported by both client and server, set this parameter to NEGOTIATE.

    For example:

    [MyTask]
    ApiKey=...
    HubSpotMarketing=FALSE
    ProxyHost=proxy.domain.com
    ProxyPort=8080
    SSLMethod=NEGOTIATE
    

    For a complete list of configuration parameters that you can use to customize the task, refer to the HubSpot Connector Reference.

  2. Save and close the configuration file.
