[Hubspot API] How do you use IN filter operator?

I am trying to use an IN Filter for getting all deals from a list of deal_ids when trying this I get an invalid JSON error:

HTTP response body: {
"status":"error",
"message":"Invalid input JSON on line 1, column 42: Cannot deserialize instance of `java.lang.String` out of START_ARRAY token",
"correlationId":"dd4d7def-6cc8-4b7e-a48d-658e0330e8cd"
}

I am using the Python API as such to do the IN filter operation with a list of deal_id strings in deal_ids:

domain_filter = hubspot.crm.deals.models.Filter(
 property_name="id",
 operator="IN",
 value=deal_ids
 )

 filter_group = hubspot.crm.deals.models.FilterGroup(
 filters=[domain_filter]
 )

 public_object_search_request = hubspot.crm.companies.models.PublicObjectSearchRequest(
 filter_groups=[filter_group]
 )

 deal_results = self.hubspot_api_client.crm.companies.search_api.do_search(public_object_search_request=public_object_search_request)

This is what the dict repr of public_object_search_request looks like:

{'after': None,
 'filter_groups': [{'filters': [{'operator': 'IN',
 'property_name': 'id',
 'value': ['3651752129', '3741754830']}]}],
 'limit': None,
 'properties': None,
 'query': None,
 'sorts': None}

Would love to see a working IN operator example to get it working for myself.

Hi @CSwart ,

I checked the Deals docs, and I think you can retrieve the deals with two endpoints.

Batch read (inputs= should get your array of ID’s):

import hubspot
from pprint import pprint
from hubspot.crm.deals import BatchReadInputSimplePublicObjectId, ApiException

client = hubspot.Client.create(api_key="YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY")

batch_read_input_simple_public_object_id = BatchReadInputSimplePublicObjectId(properties="dealname", inputs=[{"id":"3651752129"},{"id":"3741754830"}])
try:
 api_response = client.crm.deals.batch_api.read(archived=False, batch_read_input_simple_public_object_id=batch_read_input_simple_public_object_id)
 pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
 print("Exception when calling batch_api->read: %s\n" % e)

Search:

import hubspot
from pprint import pprint
from hubspot.crm.deals import PublicObjectSearchRequest, ApiException

client = hubspot.Client.create(api_key="YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY")

public_object_search_request = PublicObjectSearchRequest(filter_groups={"filters":[{"value":"3741754830","propertyName":"hs_object_id","operator":"EQ"},{"value":"3651752129","propertyName":"hs_object_id","operator":"EQ"}]}, sorts="dealname", query="string", properties="dealname", limit=10, after=0)
try:
 api_response = client.crm.deals.search_api.do_search(public_object_search_request=public_object_search_request)
 pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
 print("Exception when calling search_api->do_search: %s\n" % e)

OR:

import hubspot
from pprint import pprint
from hubspot.crm.deals import PublicObjectSearchRequest, ApiException

client = hubspot.Client.create(api_key="YOUR_HUBSPOT_API_KEY")

public_object_search_request = PublicObjectSearchRequest(filter_groups={"filters":[{"value":"[\"3651752129\", \"3741754830\"]","propertyName":"hs_object_id","operator":"IN"}]}, sorts="dealname", query="string", properties="dealname", limit=10, after=0)
try:
 api_response = client.crm.deals.search_api.do_search(public_object_search_request=public_object_search_request)
 pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
 print("Exception when calling search_api->do_search: %s\n" % e)

Thanks for the helpful solution ideas I am going to try them out today!

Teun,

It seems that your last example doesn’t work for me, I am getting this error:

{"status":"error","message":"Invalid input JSON on line 9, column 17: Cannot construct instance of com.hubspot.inbounddb.publicobject.core.v3.search.Filter, problem: operator IN requires values","correlationId":"c0f97d27-fd9c-4e21-a476-ed9ee20a2000"}

This is what I have in Postman. Any input would highly be appreciated. Thank you.

Teun,

For future reference, it looks like you have a typo in your sample. It should be “values” (plural) instead of “value”. Also, it is looking for a string[] (see picture).

Thanks for the update!

HI @Teun

Will you confirm you sucessfully got your second search option from you reply using the IN operator working outside of Postman? HubSpot api returns: “…problem: operator IN requires values.” when using the following filter & operator:

{ “propertyName”: “dealstage”, “operator”: “IN”, “values”: [8464307, 8464306] }

We are able to get it working in Postman and would like to know if their is a bug with the following node package:

@hubspot/api-client v6.0.1

api call:

const apiResponse = await hubspotClient.crm.deals.searchApi.doSearch(publicObjectSearchRequest);

Thanks for puzzling this out. Here’s an example that works in Ruby. Note the VALUES key

{
 filterGroups: [
 {
 filters: [
 {
 operator: 'IN',
 propertyName: 'dealstage',
 values: ['closedlost', 'closedwon']
 }
 ]
 }
 ],
 sorts: [{ direction: 'ASCENDING', propertyName: 'dealname' }]
}

are you able to filter using any other values other than closedlost and closedwon such as custom stages?

Hi! I am trying to filter search results and get contacts data based on date created. I added this to request body:

{ "filters": [ { "propertyName": "createdate", "operator": "IN", "values": ["2022-03-01T00:00:29.962Z", "2022-03-31T00:00:29.962Z"] } ]}

But I always get There was a problem with the request in the response.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi! I have a problem when trying to search products using custom property. When I use “EQ” operator I’m getting a product as a result:

{ "filterGroups": [ { "filters": [ { "value": "VKBA 1355", "propertyName": "litium_productarticlenumber", "operator": "EQ" } ] } ], "properties": [ "litium_productarticlenumber" ]}

But when I try to do same search (and search with more values) using “IN” operator I’m not getting anything:

{ "filterGroups": [ { "filters": [ { "values": [ "VKBA 1355", "VKBA 3434" ], "propertyName": "litium_productarticlenumber", "operator": "IN" } ] } ], "properties": [ "litium_productarticlenumber" ]}

What am I doing wrong?
