How to read Hubspot data in ODBC application?

In this section we will learn how to configure and use Hubspot Connector in the API Driver to extract data from the Hubspot.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from using we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from . We will later be able to read data using . Perform these steps:

Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.
Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
Create a User Data Source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

ZappySys API Driver

You should create a System DSN (instead of a User DSN) if the client application is launched under a Windows System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. If the client application is 32-bit (x86) running with a System DSN, use ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) instead of the 64-bit version.
When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Hubspot" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Hubspot" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

Private App (Static Access Token) [Http]

Authenticate using static AccessToken (Private App) to access specific account. Follow 3 simple steps. 1) Create an App, 2) select permissions and 3) get Token and use on this UI. For more information on how to obtain AccessToken visit https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/private-apps [API Help..]

Steps to get Hubspot Credentials

Just follow this link on how to get an PrivateApp Access Token. Once you obtain it, paste it into AccessToken parameter: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/private-apps

Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

Required Parameters
AccessToken	Fill in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
RetryMode	Fill in the parameter...
RetryStatusCodeList	Fill in the parameter...
RetryCountMax	Fill in the parameter...
RetryMultiplyWaitTime	Fill in the parameter...

User Credentials (3-Legged) [OAuth]

OAuth App must be created in HubSpot website. These settings typically found here https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/working-with-oauth. [API Help..]

Steps to get Hubspot Credentials

Just follow this link on how to create an API app: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/creating-an-app On the App Scopes section make sure to select following scopes in order to access all features of this driver. You can choose more or less but keep in mind to select same or less number of scopes on Driver UI (Scopes Property) else it will not authorize the request. If you need File Upload feature then choose files scope.

Your selected scopes when registering your app must match the scopes you enter here on the connector screen. You cannot request less or more scopes for now (it may change in future). If they don't match, the connector will not be able to work with your HubSpot account!

Reading data from client application

Firstly, to get data from ODBC data source based on ZappySys ODBC driver, in your client application, you would need to connect to ODBC source and then from the list select the data source.
Finally, to read the data just read tables/views in your app or enter a SQL statement to extract data, e.g.:
SELECT * FROM Contacts
