Hi @MrAzure, That hapikey was the API key to your developer portal, which does not have access to any of the Marketing/CRM scopes. The developer hapikey can only be used to make requests to the developer tools settings. You’ll need to use the API key from your production Marketing/CRM account to make those calls. ---

Hi @MrAzure, To make requests to your Marketing/CRM portal, you’ll need the API key from that portal. Instructions on how to get that are below: ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/3/23ea0ff39f94745d32876853337d2fc1c4039be4.png) [knowledge.hubspot.com](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/integrations/how-do-i-get-my-hubspot-api-key) ![Integrations_Menu_Item.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/f/9f9d1e82bb71c00073eab9b469f467ceca454e2d.png) ### [How do I get my HubSpot API key?](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/integrations/how-do-i-get-my-hubspot-api-key) Marketing Basic, Professional, and Enterprise customers and portals with a CRM can access the HubSpot API.

Hi Derek. I’ve been following this thread as I’m having the same issues as MrAzure. Following the instructions on the site, I have found the “Integrations” option. However, when I do click that, there’s no option I can find to generate an API key. Can you help me with this by any chance please? ---

Hi [@DrProcter](https://community.hubspot.com/u/drprocter), Sorry, I can’t get that image to load properly due to whatever strange formatting is happening. Can you post your screenshot again? You can also find your Hub ID by following the instructions below: ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/9/89483a8de9bdc55d982e59c9c8b6de05e4fd8ee4.png) [knowledge.hubspot.com](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/account/where-can-i-find-my-hub-id) ![d1fe338a5a21670560408c6b103b7dca4806be74.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/1/d1fe338a5a21670560408c6b103b7dca4806be74.png) ### [Where can I find my Hub ID?](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/account/where-can-i-find-my-hub-id) Learn how to find your Hub ID, a unique number assigned to every account in HubSpot. ---

Hi [@DrProcter](https://community.hubspot.com/u/drprocter), That’s helpful; thank you. Looking up that Hub ID, I can see that it’s a developer portal. Developer portals don’t have access to any of the regular HubSpot tools that Marketing/CRM portals do. In order to test out your integration, you’ll need to get the hapikey from a test Marketing/CRM portal; you can follow the steps in the following Knowledge Base article to create a test portal, and then when you log into that test portal you’ll be able to follow the steps in the previous Knowledge Base article to grab your API key. ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/a/aaffc8e0f5a6f71f0bd97ac65bceb9f82373af41.png) [developers.hubspot.com](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/faq/how-do-i-create-a-test-portal) ### [How do I create a test portal?](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/faq/how-do-i-create-a-test-portal) Test portals can be used to test your integration without affecting your live HubSpot data.
