apikey doesn't exist

[EMCC]

Hello,

I am trying to implement the contact creation API using a html form to capture leads. I have created the API key by creating the private app in my hubspot account. But when i am using that particular API key to make the request API call it says api key does not exist. Please kindly help me with this.

Can anyone help me with this?

MY ENDPOINT: 

$endpoint = 'https://api.hubapi.com/contacts/v1/contact?hapikey=XXX-XXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX';

Error:

curl Errors: Status code: 401 Response: {"status":"error","message":"This hapikey doesn't exist.","correlationId":"c8ba6603-59a8-43f7-bbda-8330085593af"}

Hey, @EMCC 👋 It looks like your request is combining both methods of Authorization. If you are using a private app, then your request URL will not include the 

?hapikey=XXX-XXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX';

part.

You need to include 

--header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \

 in your header.

Here's a quick example using cURL:

Request

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts \
  --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "properties": {
    "company": "Cat Pizza",
    "email": "sebastian@catsrule.xyz",
    "firstname": "Sebastian",
    "lastname": "Lewis",
    "phone": "(805)-457-4992",
    "website": "surferboypizza.xyz"
  }
}'

PHP example from documentation

Request

<?php
use HubSpot\Factory;
use HubSpot\Client\Crm\Contacts\ApiException;

$client = Factory::createWithAccessToken("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN");

$properties = [
    "company" => "Cat Pizza",
    "email" => "sebastian@catsrule.xyz",
    "firstname" => "Sebastian",
    "lastname" => "Lewis",
    "phone" => "(805)-457-4992",
    "website" => "surferboypizza.xyz"
];
$SimplePublicObjectInput = new SimplePublicObjectInput(['properties' => $properties]);
try {
    $apiResponse = $client->crm()->contacts()->basicApi()->create($SimplePublicObjectInput);
    var_dump($apiResponse);
} catch (ApiException $e) {
    echo "Exception when calling basic_api->create: ", $e->getMessage();
}

I hope this helps get you moving forward! — Jaycee
