Create a custom module that updates a HubDB table

Developer Support APIs & Integrations

I have a module that prompts the user with questions step by step and I want to save their answers in a hubdb table. Am I able to access the CMS API through a custom module using a javascript curl request? Or is their a better way to do it?

Hi, @AMastoris :waving_hand: Thanks for your question.

I’d recommend looking into utilizing Serverless Functions if you have access. Or researching setting up some form of middleware. My main concerns with doing this client-side are:

  • Security — you risk exposing your API or Private App keys by making calls client-side (from your module in this case) — Include serverless functions in projects (BETA) and Serverless functions
  • CORS restrictions — HubSpot may block your cross-origin requests
  • Rate limiting and performance — if multiple users are interacting with your application simultaneously, you may hit rate limits. Managing this server-side allows you more flexibility and control over how the calls are sent
