I can’t locate a link to the API for private apps. Is there such a link? ---

Hi @malcolmdavis, There you go: [Legacy private apps - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/guides/apps/private-apps/overview) If that’s not what you meant, could you please rephrase your request? There is no API _for_ private apps, private Apps allow you to _use_ HubSpot’s API. Best regards! ---

Clarify: I was looking for > **[Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot](https://app.hubspot.com/myaccounts?next=developerdocs&redirect=%2Fapi-reference%2Fcrm-contacts-v3%2Fguide)** The docs are very obscure, and the search bar did not help. There is a bug in the search and AI. I should be able to enter “Contact API” in the search and get the correct page listed.
