How to integrate with digital membership card system

Developer Support APIs & Integrations
1

I am working as a developer on integrating a digital membership card system and I am currently facing several issues during implementation. While trying to sync member data through the API, the response is not returning complete profile details such as membership ID and status, which is affecting the card generation process. Additionally, I am encountering authentication problems like token expiration and invalid API key errors when connecting to the API. Another challenge is generating digital membership cards in real-time immediately after user registration, as the process is not triggering as expected. I am also unsure about the best way to securely store and display sensitive member information on the digital card, considering data privacy concerns. Furthermore, there is limited clarity around webhook or event-based triggers for automatically updating membership card details when user data changes. I am looking for guidance on how to properly integrate the API for real-time card generation, manage authentication efficiently, and implement secure and scalable solutions for digital membership cards.

Hi @SamTassey

Thanks for your response.

I am currently using the Contacts API to fetch and sync member data after registration. The endpoint I’m calling is:

  • GET /crm/v3/objects/contacts/{contactId}

or in some cases:

  • GET /crm/v3/objects/contacts?limit=100

In my setup (integrating with a MembershipAnywhere-based digital membership card system), I am using HubSpot as the source of truth for member data syncing.

Issue Incomplete profile response

The response I’m getting does not consistently include fields like:

  • membership_id (custom property)
  • membership_status (custom property)

Authentication I am using a Private App Access Token, but sometimes I get:

401 Unauthorized
Invalid API key / token expired errors (intermittent)

Header used:

  • Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
