Get submissions for a form using Private apps

[fxholl]

Hello, 

I would like to export via API the form entries from the 3 Hubspot forms we have on our site.   I am not a developer, so I've been using n8n.io for integrations.

I found this post https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/forms/get-submissions-for-a-form . However, API Key mecanism has been deprecated. 

How can I get form entries using the Personal app I created in Hubspot?

Hi, @fxholl 👋 To clarify, the endpoint is stable and supported. It's only the authorization method that is changing.  I can provide links to our documentation and resources, but you'll likely need a developer to assist in incorporating your private app and form(s). 

Resources:

• Migrate to a Private App
• Migrating from the API key to private apps examples (HubSpot Developers YouTube)
• Authentication Overview (for a Private App)
• Authorization Header documentation (HubSpot)

One question to clarify, you mentioned having three “HubSpot” forms. Are those forms you've created in HubSpot and embedded on your page? Or are they three non-HubSpot forms you've been using an integration to sync to your portal? I am not 100%, and I would rather not guess.

Thanks for the additional information! — Jaycee

Regarding the migration from API key to app token:

I am testing the creation of a task via api. The legacy documentation (https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/engagements/create_engagement) says to use this URL:

https://api.hubapi.com/engagements/v1/engagements?hapikey=demo

The only change with app token is where it says "demo" I will paste the app token instead of the API key, correct?

Hi, @fxholl 👋 That is incorrect. You'll need to include the token in the header of your request. You can see an example of it in the v3 Contacts endpoint: 

Documentation here:

• Using a private app access token
• Header format 

Additionally, you can use the v3 Create a Task endpoint to test out your private app token and see the formatting in action — https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/tasks

Best,
