HUBDB call limits

Developer Support CMS Development

Hi

I’m trying to understand call and page limits for HUBDB.

I’ve create a custom module that references a hubdb table and pulls data using the hubdb_row field. It has a repeater option on it, so i can select a multiple number of rows.

According to this page: HubDB - HubSpot docs

  • 10 calls to the hubdb_table_rows HubL function per CMS page.

Does this mean I can only call 10 rows per page?

If I’m using a custom module which I will insert in to a normal page will I only be able to use that module on 10 different pages?

For refefrence my module looks like this:

{% for item in module.hubdbrow_field %}

{{ item.columns.name.model }}<br>
{{ item.columns.price }}<br>
{{ item.columns.year }}<br>
<img src="{{ item.columns.image.url }}" width="200px" alt="{{ item.columns.model }}">
<hr>

{% endfor %}

Thanks for any help here!

@DM2 happy to help clarify the limits:

  • 10 calls to the hubdb_table_rows HubL function per CMS page.

No - it means that you can only make 10 calls to the hubDB row function per page, your module has 1 call.

If I’m using a custom module which I will insert in to a normal page will I only be able to use that module on 10 different pages?

Dynamic pages are pages that are created based on the HubDB data dynamically, they aren’t typical pages created in the content editor.

If you use your custom module on multiple pages, it is not impacted by this limit.

You can only have 10 dynamic pages that generate based on the same HubDB table - since you’re manually adding your module to normal pages, there’s no need to worry about this limit.

Hey @Jnix284 (and @DM2 )

The HubDB technical limits really can be a limitation…both 10k rows per table and a single table being only usable on up to 10 separate dynamic pages.

It looks like these have been the limits for a very long time. Unfortunately, I signed up for Content Hub Pro without being aware of these limits.
Has Hubspot considered extending serverless functions to those on Content Hub Pro? I understand the typical feature boundaries, but if the infrastructure Hubspot has built around HubDB is limiting developers from using what they’ve built (the greatest benefit I expected from Content Hub Pro…more scalable custom content), then it seems there should be some alternative solution for them.
It’d be great if Hubspot could somehow extend serverless functions to those on Content Hub Pro who’ve been limited by the no-very-advertised HubDB technical limits.
