hello.

After creating a Contact from an external system using the Contact API, it takes about 25 seconds for it to be available on hubspot (access to exclusive content via SSO).  
I am having trouble viewing limited content immediately after authentication.  
Are there any good countermeasures?

Hello,

we have the same problem, we are testing python “hubspot-api-client 7” and also “requests” lib using private app access token (Bearer token). According our test, the contact can be “read” 5 to 15 seconds after the creation call finish.

Is there a method to speed up the contact creation through the API ?

Br,
