HubSpot

HubSpot

Access the HubSpot CRM API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage contacts, companies, deals, and their associations.

Quick Start

CLI:

maton hubspot contact list -L 10 --properties email,firstname,lastname

maton api '/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts?limit=10&properties=email,firstname,lastname'

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.maton.ai/hubspot/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to api.hubapi.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Installation

NPM:

npm install -g @maton/cli

Homebrew:

brew install maton-ai/cli/maton

Authentication

CLI:

maton login                          # Opens browser for API key
maton login --interactive            # Skip browser, paste API key directly
maton whoami                         # Show current auth state

Manual:

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key
4. Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Connection Management

Manage your HubSpot OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

CLI:

maton connection list hubspot --status ACTIVE

maton api -X GET /connections -f app=hubspot -f status=ACTIVE

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

CLI:

maton connection create hubspot

maton api /connections -f app=hubspot

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'hubspot'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

CLI:

maton connection view {connection_id}

maton api /connections/{connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "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

CLI:

maton connection delete {connection_id}

maton api -X DELETE /connections/{connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:

CLI:

maton hubspot contact list --properties email,firstname,lastname --connection {connection_id}

maton api /hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts --connection {connection_id}

Python:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always specify the connection to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to contacts, companies, deals, and associations within the connected HubSpot account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

  }

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    properties: { email: '[email protected]', firstname: 'John' }
  })
});

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={'properties': {'email': '[email protected]', '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

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with hubspot. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/crm/v3/objects/contacts
