Authenticating BrightGauge in HubSpot

Avatar

Overview

Hubspot no longer supports API key-based authentication and requires HubSpot-configured access tokens for authentication instead of API keys. This article describes how to access tokens using private app authentication. Once authenticated, partners can set the scope and authenticate the BrightGauge integration. 

 

Private App Authentication Edit section

Note: You must have HubSpot Super Admin permissions to access private apps in your HubSpot account.

Private apps use HubSpot's APIs to access specific data from your HubSpot account. You can authorize what each private app can request or change in your account, which will generate an access token that is unique to your app. Private apps can only be installed on a single account. For more information on Private Apps, please refer to HubSpot's documentation: Private Apps.

Utilize Hubspot Access Token to authenticate BrightGauge.
