ballerinax/hubspot.crm.obj.products Ballerina library

Overview

HubSpot is an AI-powered customer relationship management (CRM) platform.

The ballerinax/hubspot.crm.obj.products package offers APIs to connect and interact with HubSpot CRM Object Products API endpoints, specifically based on HubSpot REST API v3.

Setup guide

To use the HubSpot CRM Object Products connector, you must have access to the HubSpot API through a HubSpot developer account and an associated HubSpot app. Therefore, if you don't have one already, you need to register for a developer account on HubSpot.

Step 1: Create/Login to a HubSpot Developer Account

If you already have an account, go to the HubSpot developer portal.

If you don't have a HubSpot Developer Account, you can sign up to a free account here.

Step 2 (Optional): Create a Developer Test Account under your account

Within app developer accounts, you can create Developer Test Account to test apps and integrations without affecting any real HubSpot data.

Note: These accounts are intended only for development and testing purposes and should not be used production environments.

1. Go to 'Test Account' section from the left sidebar.

   

2. Click 'Create developer test account'. In the dialog box, give a name to your test account and click 'Create'.

   

Step 3: Create a HubSpot App under your account.

1. In your developer account, navigate to the 'Apps' section. Click on 'Create App'.

   

2. Provide the necessary details, including the app name and description.

Step 4: Configure the Authentication Flow.

1. Move to the Auth Tab.

   

2. In the Scopes section, add the following scope for your app using the 'Add new scope' button.

   • e-commerce

   

3. Add your Redirect URI in the relevant section. You can also use localhost addresses for local development purposes. Click 'Create App'.

   

Step 5: Get your Client ID and Client Secret

• Navigate to the 'Auth' section of your app. Make sure to save the provided Client ID and Client Secret.

  

Step 6: Setup Authentication Flow

Before proceeding with the Quickstart, ensure you have obtained the Access Token using the following steps:

1. Create an authorization URL using the following format:

   https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>&scope=<YOUR_SCOPES>&redirect_uri=<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>
   

   Replace the YOUR_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_REDIRECT_URI and YOUR_SCOPES with your specific value.

   Note: If you are using a localhost redirect url, make sure to have a listener running at the relevant port before executing the next step.

2. Paste it in the browser and select your developer test account to install the app when prompted.

   

3. A code will be displayed in the browser. Copy the code.

4. Run the following curl command. Replace the YOUR_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_REDIRECT_URI and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET with your specific values. Use the code you received in the above step 3 as the CODE.

   • Linux/macOS

     curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token \
     --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
     --data 'grant_type=authorization_code&code=<CODE>&redirect_uri=<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>&client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>'

   • Windows

     curl --request POST ^
     --url https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token ^
     --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' ^
     --data 'grant_type=authorization_code&code=<CODE>&redirect_uri=<YOUR_REDIRECT_URI>&client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>'

   This command will return the access token necessary for API calls.

   {
     "token_type": "bearer",
     "refresh_token": "<Refresh Token>",
     "access_token": "<Access Token>",
     "expires_in": 1800
   }

5. Store the access token securely for use in your application.

Quickstart

To use the HubSpot CRM Object Products connector in your Ballerina application, update the .bal file as follows:

Step 1: Import the module

Import the ballerinax/hubspot.crm.obj.products module and oauth2 module.

import ballerina/oauth2;
import ballerinax/hubspot.crm.obj.products as hsproducts;

Step 2: Instantiate a new connector

1. Create a Config.toml file and, configure the obtained credentials in the above steps as follows:

   clientId = <Client Id>
   clientSecret = <Client Secret>
   refreshToken = <Refresh Token>

2. Instantiate a hsproducts:OAuth2RefreshTokenGrantConfig with the obtained credentials and initialize the connector with it.

   configurable string clientId = ?;
   configurable string clientSecret = ?;
   configurable string refreshToken = ?;
   
   hsproducts:OAuth2RefreshTokenGrantConfig auth = {
       clientId,
       clientSecret,
       refreshToken,
       credentialBearer: oauth2:POST_BODY_BEARER
   };
   
   hsproducts:Client hubSpotProducts = check new ({ auth });

Step 3: Invoke the connector operation

Now, utilize the available connector operations. A sample use case is shown below.

Create a product

public function main() returns error? {
    hsproducts:SimplePublicObjectInputForCreate payload = {
        "properties": {
            "name": "Coffee Grinder",
            "hs_sku": "CMK12346",
            "price": "540.00",
            "description": "A high-quality coffee grinder that powders excellent coffee."
        }
    };
    hsproducts:SimplePublicObject response = check hubSpotProducts->/.post(payload);
}
