We are facing some issues with Timeline Events and need help. We tried creating Events in below ways: 1. **Using API keys:-** 1. Created an APP in developer Account 2. Got User Id and hapikey 3. Created the event using Postman client:- ![postTimeline.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/3/33b427e3c84a06ac9c056eef72a1c5849f3758ab.png) 1. 1. Event appeared in developer Account 2. But nothing is shown in my contact page present in Testing account:- ![Screenshot 2019-12-03 at 8.50.15 PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/6/064fffab652d669df84b2fea1ddd49ad41498802.png) 1. tried using oauth token 1. Generated code using url: [https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client\_id=85523963-7ac8-4584-9ff3-d62d56478208&redirect\_uri=https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback&scope=contacts%20timeline%20oauth](https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=85523963-7ac8-4584-9ff3-d62d56478208&redirect_uri=https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback&scope=contacts%20timeline%20oauth) 2. Got the access token. 3. Updated custom field in contact and it successfully updated. 4. But while creating event, I am seeing authorization error ![Screenshot 2019-12-03 at 9.00.20 PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/9/d92c7d9ffa84f7fe0a92537b629e28ae7ffaa5d7.png) Can Some please help us with above issue ---

Hi @saket1472, I’m happy to help, but please do not share full authentication credentials on this public forum. If you post a HubSpot [API key](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/integrations/how-do-i-get-my-hubspot-api-key) or [OAuth access or refresh token](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/oauth2/get-access-and-refresh-tokens) on the Community, it should be considered compromised and should be deactivated immediately. I’ve taken the liberty of obscuring the “hapikey” you shared. For your security, please also [deactivate and generate a new HAPIkey](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/faq/developer-hapikeys). Let’s now take a look at the issue that I believe I may be able to shed some lights on. In this case, it looks like you’re using the [create timeline event type]([http://Create](http://Create)%20new Timeline Event Type) to [create timeline event]([http://Create](http://Create)%20or update a timeline event). These two function may have similar endpoint: **Create Timeline Event Type** `POST /integrations/v1/:application-id/timeline/event-types` **Create Timeline Event** `PUT integrations/v1/:application‐id/timeline/event` which could have caused the confusion. Could you try using the [Create Timeline Event](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/timeline/create-or-update-event) endpoint to create an event for contact [saket.destiny@gmail.com](mailto:saket.destiny@gmail.com) and see if it works? _ **NOTE** : You must use an OAuth access token to create an event. API keys are not supported._ ---

Thanks for the response. I have tried with event Api, now seeing a different issue. ![Screenshot 2019-12-06 at 10.14.30 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/b/bb20c975ca370e1b1c2147ec7f8de64e8cea7557.png) ---

Hi @saket1472, The error message: 405 method not allowed implies that the request method is known by the server but is not supported by the target resource. Reference this documentation: [405 Method Not Allowed - HTTP | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/405). When looking to create timeline event, the method is PUT and not POST. ---
