Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out how to use Hubspot’s Search API. I want to make a POST request with some specific parameters. Here’s what I’m aiming for:
- A filter for ‘lastmodifieddate’ that’s greater than a certain date
- A limit of 100 results
- Pagination (not sure how to do this part)
- A bunch of properties to retrieve (like 400 of them!)
I’m wondering how to structure this request in Postman. Can anyone help me out with the correct format? I’m especially confused about how to include all those properties without making the request too bulky.
Has anyone done something similar before? Any tips or examples would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!
I’ve been in your shoes, CharlieLion22. Tackling HubSpot’s Search API can be tricky, especially with complex requirements. From my experience, structuring the POST request is key. For the ‘lastmodifieddate’ filter, use an ISO date format in your filterGroups. The limit is straightforward - just add “limit”: 100 to your JSON body.
Pagination is handled through the ‘after’ parameter. Start without it, then use the ‘paging.next.after’ value from each response for subsequent requests. This creates a smooth pagination flow.
Now, about those 400 properties - that’s a lot! While the API can handle it, you might want to consider splitting this into multiple requests for better performance. I’ve found that grouping related properties and making separate calls can be more efficient and easier to manage.
Remember to thoroughly test your requests. HubSpot’s API can sometimes behave unexpectedly with large property sets. Good luck with your integration!
I’ve worked extensively with HubSpot’s Search API, and I can offer some insights. For the ‘lastmodifieddate’ filter, use the ‘filterGroups’ parameter in your JSON body. Structure it like this: {"filterGroups":[{"filters":[{"propertyName":"lastmodifieddate","operator":"GT","value":"2023-01-01"}]}]}. For pagination, include ‘after’ in your request body and use the ‘paging.next.after’ value from the previous response. Regarding properties, you’re correct that 400 is a lot. Consider breaking it into multiple requests if possible, or contact HubSpot support to confirm the maximum allowed. Remember to use proper error handling and rate limiting in your implementation to avoid issues with large requests.
hey CharlieLion22, ive used hubspot search api before. for pagination, u need to use ‘after’ parameter with the id of last result from previous call. for properties, just list em all in the ‘properties’ array. dont worry bout bulk, api can handle it. goodluck!
