Authenticating the request coming from UI Card

Develop, Build & Integrate APIs & Integrations
1

Hello!

I have a question about the request that HubSpot makes to apps in order to render a UI cards. I see that along with the request HubSpot passes `portalId` and `userId` parameters. What’s the suggested practice of matching these to a user in a multi tenant app, where there could be several integrations/connections to the same HubSpot portal?

thank you!

Hi @AntonP

HubSpot also passes the

appId

which will help you with your targeting.

The documentation mentions the API Key (which has been sunset) and last time I tried Private Apps didn’t work so you’ll want to use OAuth for your app.

Have fun

Hi @Mike_Eastwood !

Thanks! We are specifically targeting public apps. I.e. we want to develop a public app for HubSpot that uses UI Cards to display data from our app inside the Hubspot.

I understood that in this case for every user the `appId` would be the same, wouldn’t it?
