HubSpot

HubSpot is a customer relationship management software that helps businesses attract visitors, connect with customers, and close deals.

ingestr supports HubSpot as a source.

URI format

The URI format for HubSpot is as follows:

hubspot://?api_key=<api-key-here>

URI parameters:

• api_key: The API key is used for authentication with the HubSpot API.

The URI is used to connect to the HubSpot API for extracting data.

Setting up a HubSpot Integration

HubSpot requires a few steps to set up an integration, please follow the guide dltHub has built here.

Once you complete the guide, you should have an API key. Let's say your API key is pat_test_12345, here's a sample command that will copy the data from HubSpot into a DuckDB database:

ingestr ingest --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' --source-table 'companies' --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb --dest-table 'companies.data'

The result of this command will be a table in the hubspot.duckdb database.

Tables

HubSpot source allows ingesting the following sources into separate tables:

Table	PK	Inc Key	Inc Strategy	Details
companies	hs_object_id	hs_lastmodifieddate	merge	Retrieves information about organizations.

Use these as --source-table parameter in the ingestr ingest command.

Property History Tables

For every CRM object table listed above, a corresponding property history table is available. These tables return one row per property change, enabling you to track how properties changed over time.

Use the format property_history:<table> as the --source-table value. An optional comma-separated list of property names can be appended (property_history:<table>:<prop1>,<prop2>,...) to restrict the history to just those properties — see Filtering properties in property_history:* tables.

Table	PK	Inc Key	Inc Strategy	Details
property_history:contacts	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for contacts.
property_history:companies	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for companies.
property_history:deals	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for deals.
property_history:tickets	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for tickets.
property_history:products	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for products.
property_history:quotes	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for quotes.
property_history:calls	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for calls.
property_history:emails	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for emails.
property_history:feedback_submissions	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for feedback submissions.
property_history:line_items	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for line items.
property_history:meetings	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for meetings.
property_history:notes	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for notes.
property_history:tasks	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for tasks.
property_history:carts	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for carts.
property_history:discounts	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for discounts.
property_history:fees	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for fees.
property_history:invoices	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for invoices.
property_history:commerce_payments	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for commerce payments.
property_history:taxes	hs_object_id, property_name, timestamp	timestamp	merge	Property change history for taxes.

Note: The owners and schemas tables do not have history variants.

Custom objects also support history via property_history:custom:<objectType> (e.g., property_history:custom:myObject).

Filtering properties in property_history:* tables

By default, property_history:* tables return change history for every property on the object type. For tenants with many properties this produces large, slow responses and consumes more HubSpot API quota than necessary.

You can append a comma-separated allow-list of property names to the table name to restrict the request to just those properties. When the suffix is present, ingestr passes exactly that list to HubSpot's API, so only those properties' history is returned. When the suffix is omitted, behavior is unchanged.

Syntax:

• Built-in object: property_history:<object>[:<prop1>,<prop2>,...]
• Custom object: property_history:custom:<object>[:<prop1>,<prop2>,...]

Examples:

Fetch only email, firstname, and lastname history for contacts:

ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'property_history:contacts:email,firstname,lastname' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'contacts.property_history'

Fetch only amount and dealstage history for deals:

ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'property_history:deals:amount,dealstage' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'deals.property_history'

Fetch only field_a and field_b history for a custom object my_object:

ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'property_history:custom:my_object:field_a,field_b' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'my_object.property_history'

Overriding associations

Each built-in table fetches a default set of associations. You can override that list by appending :<assoc1>,<assoc2> to the table name. The suffix replaces the default list, so you can narrow it down to just what you need, or include custom object names. Use <table>: (colon with empty list) to skip associations entirely.

# only fetch companies and deals for contacts
ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'contacts:companies,deals' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'contacts.data'

# fetch contacts with no associations 
ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'contacts:' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'contacts.data'

Incremental Loading

HubSpot supports incremental loading out of the box. On the first run, ingestr performs a full load of all records. On subsequent runs, it uses the hs_lastmodifieddate field to fetch only records that have been created or updated since the last successful run.

No additional flags are needed — incremental state is managed automatically by ingestr.

Custom Objects

HubSpot allows you to create custom objects to store unique business data that's not covered by the standard objects. ingestr supports ingesting data from custom objects using the following format:

custom:<custom_object_name>

or with associations to other objects:

custom:<custom_object_name>:<associations>

Parameters

• custom_object_name: The name of your custom object in HubSpot (can be either singular or plural form)
• associations (optional): Comma-separated list of object types to include as associations (e.g., companies,deals,tickets,contacts)

Examples

Ingesting a custom object called "licenses":

ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'custom:licenses' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'licenses.data'

Ingesting a custom object with associations to companies, deals, and contacts:

ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri 'hubspot://?api_key=pat_test_12345' \
  --source-table 'custom:licenses:companies,deals,contacts' \
  --dest-uri duckdb:///hubspot.duckdb \
  --dest-table 'licenses.data'

When you include associations, the response will contain information about the related objects, allowing you to track relationships between your custom objects and standard HubSpot objects.
