Hi,

There is no Python example using the [hubspot-api-client](https://github.com/HubSpot/hubspot-api-python) package under the “Start a new import” section of the [CRM Import API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/imports) endpoint section. Every other endpoint has an example using the official Python package, so it would be great if I could get an example code snippet provided here!

Hi, @SWarehouse 👋 Thanks for reaching out. I found the same thing when I view the endpoint example here, [CRM Imports](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/imports).

On the Overview tab, I found an example request body for a CRM Contacts Import using Python — [example request body for importing contacts](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/imports#:~:text=example%20request%20body%20for%20importing%20contacts).

My other suggestion is to share your code example here including your request, JSON body, response, and any errors. We have community members who are brilliant with Python.

Thank you! — Jaycee
