Hi. I have created a custom object by “post /crm/v3/schemas”. I have deleted it by “delete /crm/v3/schemas/object_id”. When I “get /crm/v3/schemas” I don’t get this new custom object. But when I try again “post /crm/v3/schemas” a get “category”:“OBJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS”,“subCategory”:“InboundDbObjectTypeError.OBJECT_TYPE_ALREADY_EXIST”
I deleted custom object with
1. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object_id
2. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object_id/purge
3. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object_id?archived=true
4. delete /crm/v3/schemas/object_id/purge?archived=true
Frontend settings → objects → custom objects (https://app.hubspot.com/sales-products-settings/XXXXX/object/YYYY) don’t show my custom object (API after new POST say “already exists”)
Please help me.

@barteksonarhome are you using the object id formatted with the dash (e.g. 2-xxx)?

I encountered a similar issue when using call 1, but as soon as I used #3, I was able to recreate a new custom object using the same name.

DELETE https://api.hubspot.com/crm/v3/schemas/2-xxx?archived=true

@KyleParkerUnfortunately I use object id formatted p{accout_id}object_name.

Ok, I tried multiple times to delete schema by p-start id and 2-start id. Now object successfully deleted.

But still, I don’t know how to
1. Create custom_object type Foo
2. Delete custom_object type Foo
3. Create the same custom_object type Foo

Anybody knows how to do it?

@webdew I already use this API. Please read my first message.
I have quite a good solution.

for 1..100 do
 post /crm/v3/schemas { FOO } -> FOO id = 2-111111
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111?archived=true
 delete /crm/v3/schemas/2-111111/purge
 post /crm/v3/schemas { FOO } -> FOO id = 2-222222
 result = get /crm/v3/schemas
 if result includes FOO => success += 1
end

the success rate is around 60%. For HubSpot API is a pretty good result :slightly_smiling_face:
Thanks for all answers!
