Hi 🙂 I have been trying to fetch data from Hubspot with Python and I am completely lost now. Hopefully someone can help 🙏 I have got the API key, created a test dev account, created an app, got the cliend id, the client secret, pip installed Hubspot in Anaconda and done this (code found in the documentation): _from hubspot import HubSpot_ _api\_client = HubSpot(api\_key=‘…’)_ _from hubspot.auth.oauth import ApiException_ _try:_ _tokens = api\_client.auth.oauth.default\_api.create\_token(_ _grant\_type=“authorization\_code”,_ _redirect\_uri=‘[http://localhost](http://localhost)’,_ _client\_id=‘client\_id’,_ _client\_secret=‘client\_secret’,_ _code=‘code’_ _)_ _except ApiException as e:_ _print(“Exception when calling create\_token method: %s\n” % e)_ I am still missing the code that I have no idea how to find despite reading the documentation. AND I also get this error message which doesn’t even seem linked to the missing code: `AttributeError: 'Discovery' object has no attribute 'default_api'` Can anyone help please? Thanks a lot!

@JBeatty is a smart fellow and I think might be the right person to help you out here Also, how do we feel about all the snake references in python 😬🐍 ---

I believe we are doing similar things. If you are using Python, I also assume you are using the hubspot-client-api library. If so, I would use your test account and create a private app there. Use the api and ability to accept the private app token. Unless you are developing for the marketplace, I suggest to keep it simple and go the private app route in your test account and then move your code to a private app in the production account. _my\_token = ‘pat-xxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx’_ _api\_client = HubSpot()_ _api\_client.access\_token = my\_token_ Let me know how that works out for you.

Hi Kevin, Hi Dennis, thanks a lot for answering! I did what you suggested @KMurray and I don’t have an error message when doing so! 🙂 **BUT** When I try to call, for example: `api_client.crm.contacts.get_all()` I get an error message 😞 `MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.hubapi.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /crm/v3/objects/contacts?limit=100 (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)')))` **Any idea on what I am doing wrong here?** Thanks again! 🙏 Corentin ---

Hi, If you follow back Python Hubspot package source code, you’ll see the class Discovery (packages/hubspot/discovery/crm/contacts/discovery.py) has no “ **default\_api** ” method, but has a “ **basic\_api** ” one. I think the method name has changed since the redaction of API documentation. So, If you write **api\_client.auth.oauth._basic\_api_.create\_token…** it will works. Hope this help ---

Hi, if it helps, I changed default\_api to search\_api and it worked for me: api\_response = client.crm.objects.notes.search\_api.do\_search(public\_object\_search\_request=public\_object\_search\_request)
