hapipy documentation
hapipy is a Python wrapper for the HubSpot APIs. You can find more information about HubSpot's APIs here: http://docs.hubapi.com. The hapipy wrapper is meant to make it easier for external developers to use the HubSpot APIs by giving easy access to data that gets returned to you after an API call gets made.
The following documentation will describe the different calls that you can make via the hapipy wrapper and includes some sample code for how to make these calls and deal with the responses. Please keep in mind that we'll be working hard to improve and add to this wrapper as we add to and iterate on our APIs so if a method that you're looking for isn't here today, please check back soon!
The base hapi.py includes all of the methods that you can call to use the wrapper. As I mentioned above, we're in progress with this and will continue to develop out different methods for all of our APIs going forward. The other files to note are the objects files which include all of the classes and define the data that you can access with each call you make. For the leads methods please refer to "lead_objects.py", for blog please refer to "blog_objects.py", for lead nurturing...well you get the idea.
A few API methods require using PyCURL in order to make parallel API calls. On OSX and Linux machines, PyCURL can be installed via pip (run "pip install pycurl" ). For windows machines, pre-compiled PyCURL binaries can be downloaded here for python 2.6 and 2.7, and and here for python 2.5.
The HubSpot APIs enable you to use OAuth for authentication, as well as the old API key system (hapikey). We've also setup a couple of files that will help you specify these authentication options: 'test/helper.py' and 'test/test_credentials_sample.json'. The 'helper.py' file contains a method that will get the options from the JSON file mentioned above. You can also set the options in this file, as you can see we've done on line 8 of this file.
If you're using use API keys, then just keep the file as is currently, replacing the 'demo' API key with your user's key and you're all set. If you're using OAuth, then you need to make sure you provide a valid OAuth Access Token at the least, and if you're making offline API calls (while the user isn't in the Marketplace), you'll want to provide a valid refresh token and client ID as well. You can read all about how to get these pieces of data here: http://developers.hubspot.com/auth/oauth_apps.
