- POST /crm/v3/objects/contacts
- GET /contacts/v1/lists/all/contacts/all

The CRM v3 API uses GET /crm/v3/objects/contacts to retrieve a paginated list of all contacts.

- 10
- 50
- 100 (Correct answer)

Question 4: Which HTTP method should be used to partially update an existing HubSpot CRM object?
- PUT
- POST

Correct answer: PATCH
PATCH is used for partial updates to HubSpot CRM objects, modifying only the specified properties.
Question 5: In HubSpot's OAuth 2.0 flow, what is the purpose of the refresh token?
- It authenticates the initial API request
- It is used to obtain a new access token when the current one expires (Correct answer)
- It verifies the user's identity in HubSpot

Correct answer: It is used to obtain a new access token when the current one expires
Refresh tokens allow apps to obtain new access tokens without requiring the user to re-authorize after the short-lived access token expires.

Correct answer: crm.objects.contacts.read and crm.objects.contacts.write
CRM v3 scopes follow the pattern crm.objects.{object}.read and crm.objects.{object}.write for granular access control.
Question 7: What type of HubSpot API integration uses a private app token instead of OAuth?
- Public app integrations distributed via the marketplace
- Server-to-server integrations for a single portal (Correct answer)
- Integrations requiring user-level permissions
- Integrations needing multi-portal access
Correct answer: Server-to-server integrations for a single portal
Private apps use a static access token and are designed for server-to-server integrations within a single HubSpot portal.
