Anyone else having issues with HubSpot’s APIs recently? I am using Python Scripts to paginate through API requests and I am getting a lot more “403” errors than usual resulting in a slower finish time. Did HubSpot change its rules around API pulls recently?

Hi @LRoy6

“My batch API is working fine but I am using nodeJs, not python.  
403 error means you don’t have permission to view the page, resource, or file you’re trying to access, please reverify the token scopes. You can also use Postman to check the API response. And If the problem still persists then you can contact HubSpot support.”

I hope this will help you out. Please mark it as **Solution Accepted and upvote** to help another Community member.
