Search for Companies by Domain returns Method Not Allowed

KevinL33 — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 23:30:19 GMT

HI all, I'm trying to use the function Search For Companies by domain, documented here:

https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/companies/search_companies_by_domain

But I always receive:

HTTP Error 405

Method Not Allowed.

Has the function been deprecated? If so is there a current replacement for it?

Kevin.

Hi @KevinL33 ,

Do you use oAuth2 or the API key? If you use oAuth2, check if you have the correct scopes (contacts) in place.

Hi @Teun I am using an API key, the demo example doesn't even work. If you follow my link and copy/paste the example URL you'll see the same error.

@KevinL33 ,

I just tested in postman and it works for me 🤔

Can you post exactly what you are sending? (minus your hapikey)

Hi @dennisedson I post the url from the demo, or I can put in one of our client contact domains with my apikey and get the same result

I should mention that I'm entering the url on a web browser and just viewing the Json that's returned ( if it's returned).

ah,

That would be expected then.

2 problems:

1. you need to use your hapikey to get results specific for your portal

2. the browser can only make get requests where this endpoint requires a post request.

You can download postman or an equivalent to test this.

Thanks for the info @dennisedson . I actually installed the c# package HubSpot.NET and used the functions api.Company.GetByDomain() and api.Company.GetById(). Both work like a charm. Thanks again. KL.
