Bulk sync (ELT) from HubSpot to PostgreSQL

Before getting started make sure to set your Polytomic API key as an environment variable:

$export POLYTOMIC_API_KEY=YOUR-API-TOKEN

This example tutorial will cover three steps:

  1. Connecting to HubSpot.
  2. Connecting to PostgreSQL.
  3. Loading data from HubSpot to PostgreSQL.

1. Create a HubSpot connection

The following request will create a Hubspot connection. The configuration for each type of connection can be found at the connection configuration docs page.

$curl --request POST \
> --url https://app.polytomic.com/api/connections \
> --header "accept: application/json" \
> --header "content-type: application/json" \
> --header "X-Polytomic-Version: 2022-12-12" \
> --header "Authorization: Bearer ${POLYTOMIC_API_KEY}" \
> -d '{"name": "Hubspot Connection","type": "hubspot", "configuration": {}}

Since Hubspot connections uses OAuth to authenticate, we’ll need to follow the link returned in the auth_url parameter in the response

Redirection


By default, the API expects the auth_url to be open in a new browser window. If you’d like to modify the redirect behavior, there is an optional redirect_url parameter that can be added to the request body.

2. Create a PostgreSQL connection

The PostgreSQL server must be network-accessible from Polytomic.

$ curl --request POST \
> --url https://app.polytomic.com/api/connections \
> --header "accept: application/json" \
> --header "content-type: application/json" \
> --header "X-Polytomic-Version: 2022-12-12" \
> --header "Authorization: Bearer ${POLYTOMIC_API_KEY}" \
> -d '{
> "name": "Postgres Connection",
> "type": "postgresql",
> "configuration": {
> "hostname": "localhost",
> "port": 5432,
> "database": "postgres",
> "username": "user",
> "password": "secret"
> }
> }'

Bulk sync schemas


Polytomic may take a few moments to cache source schemas after creating new connections.

3. Create a bulk sync

This will create a bulk sync of all Hubspot objects into Postgres:

$curl --request POST \
> --url https://app.polytomic.com/api/bulk/syncs \
> --header "accept: application/json" \
> --header "content-type: application/json" \
> --header "X-Polytomic-Version: 2022-12-12" \
> --header "Authorization: Bearer ${POLYTOMIC_API_KEY}" \
> -d '{
> "name": "Hubspot Bulk Sync",
> "source_connection_id": "YOUR-HUBSPOT-CONNECTION-ID",
> "destination_connection_id": "YOUR-POSTGRES-CONNECTION-ID",
> "mode": "replicate",
> "schedule": {
> "frequency": "manual"
> },
> "dest_configuration": {
> "schema": "hubspot"
> }
> }'
