I have a custom built CRM that I would like to integrate with Hubspot. I would like to keep both systems active. At the moment we are manually copying the data from the custom built CRM into Hubspot. I would like to automate this using the Hubspot API.
Do I have to call the Hubspot API using the Hubspot UID's (I don't want to have to add a field in my existing CRM to record the Hubspot UID as that is just moving the existing manual entry to another area).
Thanks in advance
HubSpot API is the way to go https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/overview , however, be sure to read the terms of use to avoid any compliance issue as you will be using their data sources:
https://legal.hubspot.com/developer-terms
HubSpot's unique identifier for contacts are Contact ID and email address.
So if you already have contacts' email addresses in your non-HubSPot CRM, I believe you would not need Contact ID as the UID to update existing contacts via API.
Here is the reference:
An email address is the primary identifier for a contact in HubSpot.
These endpoints automatically deduplicate email addresses to keep
HubSpot data clean.

I need to create some Add-Ons of type "Subscription" for my UWP product in the Microsoft Store.
I have seen several API that are used to manage the subscription (e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/monetize/change-the-billing-state-of-a-subscription-for-a-user and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/monetize/get-subscriptions-for-a-user) but nothing so far to create a new subscription.
Moreover, there is an API to create Add-Ons, but only for types "Durable" and "Consumable" (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/monetize/create-an-add-on).
Are you aware of any API to create a Subscription?
Currently, there is no API that could create subscription Add-ons based on the document. You have to create it on the Partner Center now. You could submit a feature request on the Feedback Hub about this.
I am trying to integrate Contacts API with one of our application. One of my client has created API ID and APP token key. I am using NuGet Package of Podio.
I am trying to use GetContactTotals. But I am not able to fetch no. of records. It is throwing an error. I have used AuthenticateWithApp method. Actually our goal is we have to fetch the contacts and sync with our application. When I use AuthenticateWithPassword method it fetches Contacts, which is more than in that particular app.
Could you please help with any example with which I can achieve this?
GetContactTotal method requires user authentication. Apps don't have access to user's contacts.
Also, some of contacts methods are deprecated (e.g.: https://developers.podio.com/doc/contacts/get-space-contact-totals-67508), so you might want to redesign how to store all contact information and use apps and particularly "Contacts App".
More details on how to organize contacts are here: https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/articles/201019938-Using-a-Contacts-app-Importing-Contacts
This is my first attempt to use an API. I followed the instructions for registering for an Edmunds API (http://developer.edmunds.com/).
I registered for an account, got an email from them to confirm, clicked on that link, and got a request to register my application, which I filled out.
But when I log into my account and click on "keys", all I get is the message "You don't have any keys yet".
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Here is the email response I got from Edmunds:
Joe,
Thank you for your interest in the Edmunds Open API Program.
Unfortunately, we are in the process of retiring our Open API Program. Therefore, we are unable to issue you an API key at this time.
Regards,
Edmunds
UPDATE
The Edmunds API has been shutdown.
I would like to also recommend this website, it contains a list of the latest car information/database APIs.
I can't remember exactly how I created mine, I believe I created my dev account and then received an api key link via email. I clicked the link and it took me to a page where I could setup my app and receive an api key. You should have received said email by now.
If that doesn't work then try emailing: api#edmunds.com
An alternative to Edmunds API would be Marketcheck Cars API
The developer portal is given here with Comprehensive API documentation
The APIs supported are
Inventory Search API
VIN History API
Dealers API
VIN Decoder API
CRM Cleanse API
and lots more APIs coming up like - Market APIs with active and historical market averages, trends, dealer sales stats, dealer ranking, deal ranking, total cost to own, car market values (like Edmunds TMV) coming up
I'm wondering how Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (to name a few) are using the Windows Live API to find the email addresses of the friends of a user to send them invitations.
When I try to use the Windows Live API I only get the email_hashes which can only be used to compare with existing user email of a system instead of sending them invitations.
Are these services paying Microsoft to benefit of an advanced API ?
Thank you,
Sébastien
All you need to do is add the following scope to the list of scopes you are requesting:
"wl.contacts_emails"
e.g.
WL.login({scope: ["wl.basic", "wl.contacts_emails"]})
I'm working on a Win8 metro signup flow and would like to be able to seamlessly pull, using the user-provided phone #, a photo and display name from the built-in "People" app. I'm having trouble finding documentation/code outside of ContactPicker (which isn't what I need).
Couple questions:
Is there an API to pull contact data that would be present in the "People" app?
If so, is there a way to configure capabilities to avoid interrupting the user with a modal "Ok for app xyz to access your address book"?
Thanks.
Confirmed that there is no API to pull contacts programmatically.
You can't pull contacts without permission, it's a security feature. You CAN interrogate the contact data users pick via the Contact Picker though.
You therefore have to ask the user to pick contacts relevant to your task, call the single / multiple contact picker then once picked, you can interrogate the contacts as much as you want. They have phone numbers, emails, locations all the data you might want hanging off those.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to maintain a persistent link to them though, so store that data while you can.
