Private Apps

Differences between public apps and private apps

Can only be installed on a single account.
Use HubSpot-configured access tokens for authentication instead of API keys.

Make API calls with your app's access token

axios.get('https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts',
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${YOUR_TOKEN}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
},
(err, data) => {
// Handle the API response
}
);

Private app access tokens are implemented on top of OAuth, so you can also make authenticated calls with your access token using one of HubSpot's client libraries. For example, if you're using the Node.js client library , you can instantiate an OAuth client by passing in your app's access token:

const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({ accessToken: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN });

View private app access token information

// POST request response body
{
"tokenKey": {{accessToken}}
}

// Example response body
{
userId:123456,
hubId:1020304,
appId:2011410,
scopes:[
"oauth",
"crm.schemas.companies.write"]
}

Private apps allow you to 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's unique to your app.
You must be a super admin to access private apps in your HubSpot account. After creating an app, you can also create a settings page for it where users can manage the app's settings.
Please note: private apps do not support extensions, custom timeline events or webhooks. If you plan on building an app using these features, you should create a public app instead.
Both private apps and public apps are integrations built using HubSpot's APIs. The key differences are how they authenticate to your HubSpot account and whether they're tied to a single account.
Once you've created your app, you can start making API calls using the app's access token. If you need to edit your app's info or change its scopes, click Edit details .
To start making API calls, navigate to the details page of your app.
If you access token is lost or otherwise compromised, you can rotate the token. A new access token will be created and the original access token will expire.
To review the API calls your app has made in the past 30 days:
You can create up to 20 private apps in your HubSpot account. Each private app is subject to HubSpot's API usage guidelines . The number of calls your private app can make is based on your account subscription and whether you've purchased the API add-on:
Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise
To view information about a private app's access token, such as hubId and the scopes associated with the token, make a POST request to /oauth/v2/private-apps/get/access-token-info . In the request body, include your access token:
The response will include information about the user who created the token, the Hub ID of the account, the private app ID, and the scopes associated with the token.
When you delete one of your private apps, its access token will be permanently revoked and you'll no longer be able to use it to make API calls.

The best privacy apps for your Android smartphone or tablet provide a simple solution to manage the security and privacy of your mobile device.
This is important as user privacy has become a big issue online, especially with the big increase in cookie tracking for marketing and data collection purposes online. On top of this, Android phone users have the additional concern of rogue apps that might try to tap into your data directly.
In order to protect your privacy there are, of course, basic settings that can help mitigate some of these issues. However, if you're serious about privacy, anonymity, and security, then you'll probably need to go a step further.
There are dedicated Android antivirus apps (opens in new tab) out there, as well as encrypted messaging apps for Android (opens in new tab) to help keep communications secure.
However, one of the best ways to protect your privacy is to use a Virtual Private Network ( VPN (opens in new tab) ) service, some of which are available specifically as a VPN for Android (opens in new tab) .
Additional options include authentication software, password management, browser addons, and keychains.
Here therefore are the best privacy apps and software tools for Android users.
A VPN (virtual private network) app is the biggest no-brainer privacy boost you can give to your Android device. VPNs not only hide your IP address from the sites and apps that you use, they hide the sites and apps you use from your internet service provider.
A VPN will also let you pretend to be in a different location, which is key for unblocking geo-restricted content.
ExpressVPN consistently ranks at the top of our list of Android VPNs . It’s reliably fast, has 160 server locations in 94 countries, and its 24/7 customer support is second to none.
The service already used industry-standard encryption and a choice of various other protocols (including IKEv2, OpenVPN and L2TP/IPsec) to keep your data safe. But perhaps most exciting is that it has now begun rolling out its very own Lightway protocol that seeks to increase speed and reliability even further.
But away from the numbers and specifications, it’s in our real-life testing where ExpressVPN really shines. For starters, it’s fast. Really fast, with fantastic connection speeds across servers in multiple countries. And that was using OpenVPN in our tests - the aforementioned Lightway option should increase that further still.
We also love just how easy to use this service is. That might seem obvious, but not every VPN provider out there has worked out how to make its tools intuitive, regardless of what device you're using it on. From desktop and mobile, to TV streamers and browser extensions, ExpressVPN is very easy to set up and operate for both pros and inexperienced users.
KYMS (which stands for ‘keep your media safe’) disguises itself as a normal calculator. On your home screen it even names itself ‘KyCalc’ and it can be used to do your sums. Entering a special four digit PIN and password, however, opens an encrypted vault, where you can store text images and videos.
KYMS also has a built-in web browser and can download online videos straight into the vault. There’s even a utility to transfer media to and from other devices over your network.
Naturally anyone who enters the name of the app into the Google Play store or examines its size on your system will know this is more than a simple calculator. But even then, they won’t know the password details (hopefully!).
Orbot (opens in new tab) has been developed by the Guardian Project as a way for your Android device to access the Tor network. When used along with its companion app, the Orfox browser, this lets you browse the web safely without worrying about sites tracking your location, as your connection is encrypted and routed through several different computers.
For extra security, use Tor hidden services. These are websites with the domain extension .onion which reside only in the ‘dark web’. For instance Facebook’s address is http://facebookcorewwwi.onion.
Do note, though, that as your data is being shunted through a number of computers, you may find your connection speed is much slower than usual. Such is the trade-off for tight privacy.
Major search engines like Google and Bing sometimes engage in leakage whereby your search term may be shared with third-parties like the sites you visit.
They also often save your search history with a timestamp and details of your device, meaning searches can be traced back to you. Sometimes they place virtual cookies on your device to record your search habits.
DuckDuckGo works as a drop-in replacement for your default search engine. Searches do not leak to other websites and this engine records no information about what you look for. It’s also ad-free. DuckDuckGo is compatible with Orbot (above), so you can hide your location from the sites you visit, too.

Keepass2Android is an Android version of the excellent password manager (opens in new tab) Keepass. Version 2 supports using key files as well as passwords, which is more secure. The password database can be stored on a remote folder (for example, in your Dropbox account) so you can access it both from your Android device and desktop computer.
If you prefer to keep your password database on the Android device only, there’s also an offline version of this app – click on the second of the download links below.
You can use Android’s copy/paste feature to enter passwords for any number of websites if you wish, or make use of Keepass2Android’s built-in keyboard to enter passwords, which is safer.
As the name suggests, Syncthing is used to synchronize (or ‘sync’) files between two devices, for instance you can use it to back up photos on your Android device to your home computer.
After installing the Android app and setting up Syncthing on a computer, any files or folders you select will be copied between devices via an encrypted connection.
As connections are peer-to-peer, you don’t have to store your data with a third-party cloud service like Dropbox. Plus you can add as many devices as you like to share files between.
Syncthing is open source, so its code can be checked for vulnerabilities by security boffins, and any problems should hopefully get fixed pronto.
The Firefox browser app aims to make your internet surfing experience more private than most other browsers, with additional built in privacy and security settings.
Additionally, you can use Firefox add-ons to further increase your privacy. Once you’ve installed Firefox from the Play store, open the menu and go to Tools > Add Ons > Browse all Firefox Add Ons.
Look under the Privacy & Security section and you can find add-ons such as Ghostery, which prevents websites leaving ‘tracking cookies’ on your device to monitor your browsing habits, and the likes of script blockers and ad blockers amongst many other security-related bits and pieces.
OpenKeychain is an implementation of OpenPGP (sometimes referred to as GPG). It allows you to generate a ‘public’ key which you give to others to allow them to encrypt and send messages to you, and a ‘private’ key which remains on your Android device and is used to decrypt incoming messages. Your private key can also digitally sign messages so people know they’re really from you.
If you’ve never used PGP/GPG before, a good non-geeky explanation of how it works is available here (opens in new tab) . This app is designed to integrate into the K-9 Mail app (opens in new tab) to allow for easy signing and encryption of all your emails.
