Ruby wrappers for the HubSpot REST API

HubSpot REST API wrappers for ruby

Wraps the HubSpot REST API for convenient access from ruby applications.

Documentation for the HubSpot REST API can be found here: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/endpoints

Setup

gem install hubspot-ruby

Or with bundler,

gem "hubspot-ruby"

Before using the library, you must initialize it with your HubSpot API key. If you're using Rails, put this code in an initializer:

Hubspot.configure(hapikey: "YOUR_API_KEY")

If you're have a HubSpot account, you can get your api key by logging in and visiting this url: https://app.hubspot.com/keys/get

Note about authentication

For now, this library only supports authentication with a HubSpot API key (aka "hapikey"). OAuth is not yet supported.

Usage

Here's what you can do for now:

Create a contact

Hubspot::Contact.create!("[e-mail]", {firstname: "First", lastname: "Last"})

In batches

Hubspot::Contact.create_or_update!([{email: '[e-mail]', firstname: 'First', lastname: 'Last'}])

Find a contact

These methods will return a Hubspot::Contact object if successful, nil otherwise:

Hubspot::Contact.find_by_email("[e-mail]")
Hubspot::Contact.find_by_id(12345) # Pass the contact VID

Update a contact

Given an instance of Hubspot::Contact, update its attributes with:

contact.update!({firstname: "First", lastname: "Last"})

In batches

Hubspot::Contact.create_or_update!([{vid: '12345', firstname: 'First', lastname: 'Last'}])

Contributing to hubspot-ruby

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

Testing

All tests can be run with rake spec. Isolate fast-running tests with rake spec:quick.

GET requests are pretty easy to test with VCR, but for POST/PUT requests, you probably want to update verify the state of a live HubSpot instance. To do this, please add "live" tests to spec/live/, using the rspec label live: true in order to disable VCR.

"Live" tests can be isolated with rake spec:live.
