Today we’re announcing the release of the [Leads API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/leads), which can be used to [manage lead records](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/prospecting/manage-leads-in-the-prospecting-workspace) in HubSpot. Leads are part of the [CRM Object API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/understanding-the-crm), and will function APIs for other CRM object types.

Leads are used as part of the [prospecting workspace](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/prospecting/manage-leads-in-the-prospecting-workspace) in the HubSpot sales tools. Lead records represent potential customers who have shown interest in your products or services.

### When is this happening?

The Leads API is available now for all HubSpot accounts with a Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise subscription. See the [API documentation](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/leads) and [documentation for leads](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/prospecting/set-up-leads) for more details about using leads in HubSpot.
