Im trying to import custom objects directly into hubspot form my internal database. I know I can do this to contacts/companies. Im not sure how to do it with custom objects. This is what I have so far with no luck

```lia-code-sample
inputs = [{'properties': {'branch_name': branches[id][0],
 'b_number': branches[id][4]
 }}]
 try:
 branch_upload = client.crm.objects.basic_api.create(object_type="branches",
 simple_public_object_input_for_create=inputs
 )

 pprint(branch_upload)
 except ApiException as e:
 print("Exception when requesting custom objects: %s\n" % e)

```

Hi @DLee31

I recommend Version 3 of the HubSpot API – [Create a New Schema.](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/crm-custom-objects)

Have fun

Sorry @DLee31 I misunderstood.

You can use the [Custom Objects API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/crm-custom-objects) to push data into HubSpot.

POST to

/crm/v3/objects/{objectType}

Where the Object type is the ID not the name e.g. 2-6499236

The easiest way (I think) to fiind the Object ID is to visit the page in your CRM where you see the Custom Objects and check the URL:

[Loading...](https://app.hubspot.com/contacts/){{ portal\_id }}/objects/{{ object\_id }}/views/all/list

Hope that helps!
