Specifying Connection
If you have multiple HubSpot connections, specify which one to use:
CLI:
maton hubspot contact list --properties email,firstname,lastname --connection {connection_id}
maton api /hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts --connection {connection_id}
Python:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json

If you have multiple connections, always specify the connection to ensure requests go to the intended account.
Security & Permissions
- Access is scoped to contacts, companies, deals, and associations within the connected HubSpot account.

},
body: JSON.stringify({
properties: { email: 'john@example.com', firstname: 'John' }
})
});
Python
import os
import requests
response = requests.post(
'https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts',

Notes
- Batch operations support up to 100 records per request
- Archive/Delete is a soft delete - records can be restored within 90 days
- Delete endpoints return HTTP 204 (No Content) on success
- The
industryproperty on companies requires specific enum values - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets (fields[],sort[],records[]) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
Error Handling
| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing HubSpot connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from HubSpot API |
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- Ensure your URL path starts with
hubspot. For example:
- Correct:
https://api.maton.ai/hubspot/crm/v3/objects/contacts - Incorrect:
https://api.maton.ai/crm/v3/objects/contacts
