I’m working with the Hubspot form API and I’m wondering if there’s a way to get all the forms in a specific format. Right now, it looks like the API returns a list of JSON objects.
What I’m hoping to do is get the forms as a Dictionary where the key is a Guid and the value is the form object. Is this possible directly through the API? Or do I have to process the data myself after receiving it?
I know I could probably map the data into a Dictionary after receiving it, but I’m hoping there might be a more efficient way to do this directly through the API. Has anyone dealt with this before or know if it’s possible?
Based on my experience with the HubSpot API, there’s no direct method to retrieve forms in a Guid-keyed Dictionary format. You’ll need to process the data post-retrieval. However, this isn’t as inefficient as it might seem. You can create an extension method for the API response to quickly transform it into your desired structure. This approach allows you to maintain the original data while providing a convenient access method. Consider caching the result if you’re making frequent calls to minimize processing overhead. Remember to handle potential null values or missing GUIDs in your conversion logic to ensure robustness.
hey miat, i’ve worked with hubspot before. afaik, the api doesn’t offer that kinda output directly. you’ll prob have to process the data yourself after fetching it. it’s not too bad tho - just loop thru the forms and build ur dictionary. good luck with ur project!
