I’ll reply to my own post for future reference, as further digging allowed me to find how to set up API calls inside a card: the process is described in the docs,

`https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/docs/{hubspot instance}/doc/platform/serverless-functions `

(obviously replace with your instance number)

It seems each project saves its token in variable PRIVATE\_APP\_ACCESS\_TOKEN

so instanciating a hubspot Client like this:

`const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({accessToken: context.secrets.PRIVATE_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN,});`

works perfectly well!
