About HubSpot Data Integration
CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from HubSpot. Customers use CData connectivity to:
- Access HubSpot without worrying about API updates or changes..
- Access custom objects and fields in HubSpot with no extra configuration steps involved.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional operations like uploading or downloading attachments, inserting engagements, and creating or deleting custom objects or fields.
Users frequently integrate HubSpot with analytics tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, and leverage our tools to replicate Workday data to databases or data warehouses.
To learn about how other customers are using CData's HubSpot solutions, check out our blog: Drivers in Focus: Simplified HubSpot Connectivity.
Getting Started
Configuring Connect Server
To work with live HubSpot data in Wijmo Grid, we need to connect to HubSpot from Connect Server, provide user access to the new virtual database, and create OData endpoints for the HubSpot data.
Add a Connect Server User
Create a User to connect to HubSpot from Wijmo Grid through Connect Server.
- Click Users -> Add
- Configure a User
- Click Save Changes and make note of the Authtoken for the new user
Connect to HubSpot from Connect Server
CData Connect Server uses a straightforward, point-and-click interface to connect to data sources and generate APIs.
- Open Connect Server and click Connections
- Select "HubSpot" from Available Data Sources
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to HubSpot.
HubSpot uses the OAuth authentication standard. You can use the embedded OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL or you can obtain your own by registering an app.
See the Getting Started chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.
- Click Save Changes
- Click Privileges -> Add and add the new user (or an existing user) with the appropriate permissions (SELECT is all that is required for Reveal).
Add HubSpot OData Endpoints in Connect Server
After connecting to HubSpot, create OData Endpoints for the desired table(s).
- Click OData -> Tables -> Add Tables
- Select the HubSpot database
- Select the table(s) you wish to work with and click Next
- (Optional) Edit the resource to select specific fields and more
- Save the settings
(Optional) Configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
When accessing and connecting to multiple domains from an application such as Ajax, there is a possibility of violating the limitations of cross-site scripting. In that case, configure the CORS settings in OData -> Settings.
- Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS): ON
- Allow all domains without '*': ON
- Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, PUT, POST, OPTIONS
- Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization
Save the changes to the settings.
Connect to HubSpot Data using Wijmo Grid
Create a Real-Time Grid
Follow the steps below to consume HubSpot data from the Wijmo JavaScript controls:
-
Load the required Wijmo, jQuery, and Knockout libraries:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <!--Theme--> <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!--Wijmo Widgets CSS--> <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20161.90.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!--Wijmo Widgets JavaScript--> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-open.all.3.20161.90.min.js"></script> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20161.90.min.js"></script> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/interop/wijmo.data.ajax.3.20161.90.js"></script> <!--Knockout JS Library--> <!-- Both of the links below can work --> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/wijmo/external/knockout-2.2.0.js"></script> <!--<script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20161.90/knockout-3.1.0.js"></script>--> <!--Wijmo Knockout Integration Library--> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/interop/knockout.wijmo.3.20161.90.js"></script>
-
Create a ViewModel and connect to it using the ODataView. You will need to replace the placeholder values for
the URL of the API Server, an API Server user, and the authtoken for that user.
<script id="scriptInit"> $.support.cors = true; var viewModel; function ViewModel() { var prospectsView = new wijmo.data.ODataView("http://MyServer:MyPort/api.rsc/Prospects", { ajax: { dataType: "jsonp", username: "MyUser", password: "MyAuthtoken", data: { "$inlinecount": null } }, pageSize: 10 }); prospectsView.refresh(); prospectsView.nextPage(); this.prospects = prospectsView; this.prevPage = function () {prospectsView.prevPage();}; this.nextPage = function () {prospectsView.nextPage();}; } $(document).ready(function () { viewModel = new ViewModel(); ko.applyBindings(viewModel, $(".container").get(0)); }); </script>
-
DataBind: Below is a simple table with some paging buttons, which you can paste into the body section of your markup.
<h2>Connect to Live HubSpot Data in Real Time</h2> <h3>Prospects</h3> <div> <button title="previous page" class="pagebuttons" data-bind="click: prevPage, button: {}"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-seek-prev" /> </button> <button title="next page" class="pagebuttons" data-bind="click: nextPage, button: {}"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-seek-next" /> </button> </div> <table id="demo-grid" data-bind="wijgrid: { data: prospects, showFilter: true, allowPaging: true, pagerSettings: { position: 'none'}, columnsAutogenerationMode: 'append', }" > </table>
At this point, you may be prompted to re-enter the username and authtoken. After doing so, a resulting table or grid should appear, as seen below. You can filter and sort through pages of HubSpot data.
