Hi, I have a problem while trying to retrieve data from hubspot calls using the api. I understood how to retrieve different properties etc (see my Python code below), but I didn’t quite get how retrieve associations informations (for example the company linked to the call) and especially, how an association type is defined.

```lia-code-sample
from pprint import pprint

import hubspot
from hubspot.crm.objects.calls import ApiException

client = hubspot.Client.create(access_token="token")

try:
 api_response = client.crm.objects.calls.basic_api.get_page(
 limit=1,
 archived=False,
 properties=[
 "hs_timestamp",
 "hs_call_direction",
 "hs_call_duration",
 "hs_call_disposition",
 "hubspot_owner_id",
 "hs_call_body",
 "hs_call_title"
 ],
 )
 pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
 print("Exception when calling basic_api->get_page: %s\n" % e)

```

Thank you for your answers

Actually, I think I know how to retrieve the associations, but I have a response saying

`'associations' : None`

even if I checked for the corresponding id on hubspot, the call is associated to a company and a contact.

Hey @ECamus, I’d highly recommend removing the access\_token in your code. This shouldn’t be shared publicly for security reasons.

You’re right, totally forgot, appreciate it.

Same problem here, still struggling to figure out how to solve it.  
I will let you know if I find out!
