Hi @MerryMarketing,

For your use case, I recommend using Service Keys instead of the Legacy Apps

> **[Make API requests using a service key (BETA) - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/apps/developer-platform/build-apps/authentication/account-service-keys)**

> Learn about how to use a service key to streamline access to data in your HubSpot account.

Hope this helps!
