I wish to pass additional parameter in the

> **[HubSpot OAuth](https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize)**

API this is need for us to associate things at server side. But passing as URL parameters like

[https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client\_id=XXX..](https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=XXX..). &mykey=value

is lost when i get the flow on my redirect\_uri which is my server side servlet. I am only getting code there. how do i get the request parameter or some other way i can pass it along?

@vikram-mit

I do not believe you can send anything else in that initial OAuth request 🤔

@jpsanchez , [@quentin\_lamamy](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/148828) am I wrong?

Actually i found the solution. There is a state parameter provided by hubspot just for that
