Hubspot Connector for PowerShell

Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Hubspot data in PowerShell without coding. We will use high-performance Hubspot Connector to easily connect to Hubspot and then access the data inside PowerShell.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

Download Documentation

Hubspot Connector for PowerShell is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

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

Step-by-step instructions

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

Download and install ODBC PowerPack.
Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):
Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

ZappySys API Driver
- Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
- Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.
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:

HubspotDSN

Hubspot

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]

Private apps allow you to use HubSpot's APIs to access specific data from your HubSpot account. You can authorize what each private app can request or change in your account, which will generate an access token that's unique to your app. [API reference]

Steps how to get and use Hubspot credentials

Follow these instructions to create a Private app in HubSpot and configure HubSpot authentication in SSIS package or ODBC data source:

First of all, go to HubSpot portal.
Then click Data Management option on the left and then hit Integrations menu item:
Move on by clicking Private Apps menu item and then click Create a private app button to create one:
Then continue by following the instructions on HubSpot Docs.
Once you create an app, go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and in Private App authentication set these parameters:
- For AccessToken field use Access token value from the Private app configuration in HubSpot.
Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

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

HubspotDSN

Hubspot

Private app (Static Access Token) [Http]

https://api.hubapi.com

Required Parameters
AccessToken	Fill-in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
RetryStatusCodeList	429
RetryCountMax	5
RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

Public app [OAuth]

In HubSpot, a public app is a type of integration that can be installed on customer accounts or listed on the App Marketplace. It requires authentication via OAuth. Once a user installs your app on their HubSpot account, you’ll be able to make API calls to that account using an OAuth access token. [API reference]

Steps how to get and use Hubspot credentials

Follow these instructions to create a Public app in HubSpot and configure HubSpot authentication in SSIS package or ODBC data source:

First of all, if you don't have HubSpot Developer's account, register one.
Go to HubSpot and select your Developer account.
Click Apps on the left hand side and then click Create app button to create a Public app:
Then continue by following the instructions in HubSpot Docs.
NOTE: If you don't have a working Redirect URL, you can use https://zappysys.com/oauth (it's safe).

Once you create an app, go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and in Public app authentication set these parameters (use values from your Public app configuration in HubSpot):

For ClientId field use Client ID value.
For ClientSecret field use Client secret value.

For Scope field use Scopes values, e.g.:

accounting
tickets
files

crm.lists.read
crm.lists.write

crm.objects.contacts.read
crm.objects.contacts.write
crm.schemas.contacts.read

crm.objects.custom.read
crm.objects.custom.write
crm.schemas.custom.read

crm.objects.companies.read
crm.objects.companies.write
crm.schemas.companies.read

crm.objects.deals.read
crm.objects.deals.write
crm.schemas.deals.read

crm.objects.quotes.read
crm.objects.quotes.write
crm.schemas.quotes.read

crm.objects.line_items.read
crm.objects.line_items.write
crm.schemas.line_items.read

NOTE: You can use other scopes too, but they must match the scopes defined in your Public app.

For ReturnUrl field use one of Redirect URLs.

When you are done with that, click Generate Token button to generate Access and Refresh Tokens.
Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

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

HubspotDSN

Hubspot

Public app [OAuth]

https://api.hubapi.com

Required Parameters
UseCustomApp	Fill-in the parameter...
Scope (Must Match with App Scopes)	Fill-in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
Client ID
Client Secret
ReturnUrl
RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
RetryStatusCodeList	429
RetryCountMax	5
RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

Developer API key (Deprecated) [Http]

Deprecated authentication method. Use [Private app] instead. [API reference]

Steps how to get and use Hubspot credentials

Using HubSpot API key is deprecated method for authentication. Use Private app authentication instead. If you still need one, then follow these instructions to get HubSpot API key:

First of all, if you don't have HubSpot Developer's account, register one.
Go to HubSpot and select your Developer account.
Click Apps on the left hand side and then click Get HubSpot API key button to get one:
When a popup appears, click Show Key button and then hit Copy button to copy API key:
Once copy the API key, go to SSIS package or ODBC data source and use it in API Key authentication configuration:
- Paste it in ApiKey parameter field.
Done! Now you are ready to use HubSpot Connector!

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

HubspotDSN

Hubspot

Developer API key (Deprecated) [Http]

https://api.hubapi.com

Required Parameters
ApiKey	Fill-in the parameter...
Optional Parameters
RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
RetryStatusCodeList	429
RetryCountMax	5
RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

ZappySys API Driver - Hubspot

Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

HubspotDSN
Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in PowerShell to retrieve data from Hubspot. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.
```
SELECT * FROM Companies --Where Id=123
```
Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Hubspot API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.
Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in PowerShell:
ZappySys API Driver - Hubspot

Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

HubspotDSN
```
SELECT * FROM Companies --Where Id=123
```
You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.

A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Hubspot API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Hubspot servers).
Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read Hubspot data in PowerShell

Sometimes, you need to quickly access and work with your Hubspot data in PowerShell. Whether you need a quick data overview or the complete dataset, this article will guide you through the process. Here are some common scenarios:

Viewing data in a terminal

Quickly peek at Hubspot data
Monitor data constantly in your console

Saving data to a file

Export data to a CSV file so that it can be sliced and diced in Excel
Export data to a JSON file so that it can ingested by other processes
Export data to an HTML file for user-friendly view and easy sharing
Create a schedule to make it an automatic process

Saving data to a database

Store data internally for analysis or for further ETL processes
Create a schedule to make it an automatic process

Sending data to another API

Integrate data with other systems via external APIs

In this article, we will delve deeper into how to quickly view the data in PowerShell terminal and how to save it to a file. But let's stop talking and get started!

Reading individual fields

Open your favorite PowerShell IDE (we are using Visual Studio Code).

Then simply follow these instructions:

"DSN=HubspotDSN"

Read API data with PowerShell using ODBC DSN in Visual Code

For your convenience, here is the whole PowerShell script:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=HubspotDSN"
$query = "SELECT * FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Since we know we will be reading just 4 columns, let's define format for those 4 columns, each separated by a tab
$format = "{0}`t{1}`t{2}`t{3}"

# Display data in the console
foreach ($row in $table.Rows)
{
    # Construct line based on the format and individual Hubspot fields
    $line = $format -f ($row["CustomerId"], $row["CompanyName"], $row["Country"], $row["Phone"])
    Write-Host $line
}

Access specific Hubspot table field using this code snippet:

$field = $row["ColumnName"]

You will find more info on how to manipulate DataTable.Rows property in Microsoft .NET reference.

For demonstration purposes we are using sample tables which may not be available in Hubspot.

To read values in a console, save the script to a file and then execute this command inside PowerShell terminal:
You can also use even a simpler command inside the terminal, e.g.:
```
. 'C:\Users\john\Documents\dsn.ps1'
```

Retrieving all fields

However, there might be case, when you want to retrieve all columns of a query. Here is how you do it:

"DSN=HubspotDSN"

Read all API columns from ODBC data source in PowerShell

Again, for your convenience, here is the whole PowerShell script:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=HubspotDSN"
$query = "SELECT CustomerId, CompanyName, Country, Phone FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Display data in the console
foreach ($row in $table.Rows) {
    $line = ""
    foreach ($column in $table.Columns) {
        $value = $row[$column.ColumnName]

        # Let's handle NULL values
        if ($value -is [DBNull])
        {
            $value = "(NULL)"
        }
        $line += $value + "`t"
    }
    Write-Host $line
}

You can limit the numbers of lines to retrieve by using a LIMIT keyword in the query, e.g.:

SELECT * FROM Customers LIMIT 10

Using a full ODBC connection string

In the previous steps we used a very short format of ODBC connection string - a DSN. Yet sometimes you don't want a dependency on an ODBC data source (and an extra step). In those times, you can define a full connection string and skip creating an ODBC data source entirely. Let's see below how to accomplish that in the below steps:

Open ODBC data source configuration and click Copy settings:

ZappySys API Driver - Configuration [Version: 2.0.1.10418]

ZappySys API Driver - Hubspot

Hubspot Connector can be used to integrate Hubspot and your data source, e.g. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Excel, Power BI, etc. Get, write, delete Hubspot data in a few clicks!

HubspotDSN
The window opens, telling us the connection string was successfully copied to the clipboard:
Then just paste the connection string into your script:
You are good to go! The script will execute the same way as using a DSN.

Have in mind that a full connection string has length limitations.

Proceed to the next step to find out the details.

Limitations of using a full connection string

Despite using a full ODBC connection string may be very convenient it comes with a limitation: it's length is limited to 1024 symbols (or sometimes more). It usually happens when API provider generates a very long Refresh Token when OAuth is at play. If you are using such a long ODBC connection string, you may get this error:

"Connection string exceeds maximum allowed length of 1024"

But there is a solution to this by storing the full connection string in a file. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

Open your ODBC data source.
Click Copy settings button to copy a full connection string (see the previous section on how to accomplish that).
Then create a new file, let's say, in C:\temp\odbc-connection-string.txt.
Continue by pasting the copied connection string into a newly created file and save it.
Finally, the last step! Just construct a shorter ODBC connection string using this format:
```
DRIVER={ZappySys API Driver};SettingsFile=C:\temp\odbc-connection-string.txt
```
Our troubles are over! Now you should be able to use this connection string in PowerShell with no problems.

This feature requires ODBC PowerPack v1.9.0 or later.

Write Hubspot data to a file in PowerShell

Save data to a CSV file

Export data to a CSV file so that it can be sliced and diced in Excel:

# Configure connection string and query
$connectionString = "DSN=HubspotDSN"
$query = "SELECT * FROM Customers"

# Instantiate OdbcDataAdapter and DataTable
$adapter = New-Object System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter($query, $connectionString)
$table = New-Object System.Data.DataTable

# Fill the table with data
$adapter.Fill($table)

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation -Delimiter "`t" | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.csv" -Force

Save data to a JSON file

Export data to a JSON file so that it can ingested by other processes (use the above script, but change this part):

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.json" -Force

Save data to an HTML file

Export data to an HTML file for user-friendly view and easy sharing (use the above script, but change this part):

# Export table data to a file
$table | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File "C:\Users\john\saved-data.html" -Force

Check useful PowerShell cmdlets other than ConvertTo-Csv, ConvertTo-Json, and ConvertTo-Html for other data manipulation scenarios.
