Creating a Private App

Hey folks. I’m tyring to connect to a Hubspot site via the CLI. The site has no current API key and tells me to go to Private Apps to create one. I can do this easily, but when I do this will that break anything on the current site like pages, code, database items, etc? I just want to ensure that creating the Private App will not cause any parts to the site to need rebuilt and will function properly.

Hey, @justDan :waving_hand: Welcome to the community!

Creating a Private App in HubSpot will not break your existing site or affect pages, code, database items, etc. Private apps are used for authentication when making API calls, and creating a new one does not change or delete any existing data.

Please note, while generating a Private app itself won’t alter your site, the actions you take using the API can impact your data. For instance, if you use the API to delete or update data, it will be reflected on your site.
