Authenticate a service to HubSpot and operate the auth layer in production. This is not a setup walkthrough — it is the auth code your integration runs at 3am when an OAuth token expires mid-batch, when a portal admin removes a scope, when an agency credential router sends a request to the wrong portal, and when on-call needs to rotate a leaked private-app token without dropping in-flight requests.
The six production failures this skill prevents:
Token expiry storms — OAuth access tokens expire in 1800 seconds. Every concurrent request notices expiry simultaneously, races to refresh, the token endpoint rate-limits at 10 auth calls/10s, the integration cascades to red.
Daily rate-limit burnout — retry storms on auth failures burn through the 500K daily API call quota before noon. Exponential backoff with jitter is non-optional.
Scope drift — a portal admin edits the private app's scopes or a connected OAuth app loses authorization. Cached tokens start returning 403. Retrying does not help.
Token leakage in commits — pat-na1-* private-app tokens are wide-scope and not auto-expiring. A single leaked commit exposes the entire portal.
Multi-portal credential routing — agencies managing 50+ portals cannot use a single HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN. Requests sent to the wrong portal silently operate on the wrong data.
OAuth refresh-token decay — HubSpot refresh tokens expire after one year of non-use. Integrations that go idle (seasonal products, paused automations) silently lose access and require user reconnection.
Prerequisites
Node.js 18+ (examples) or Python 3.10+
HubSpot account with a private app or a connected OAuth public app
For private apps: token from Settings → Integrations → Private Apps → your app → Auth tab
For OAuth: client ID + secret from developer portal, redirect URI registered
A secret store the runtime can read at startup and on rotation signal (env var, AWS Secrets Manager, GCP Secret Manager, or equivalent)
Instructions
Build in this order. Each section neutralizes one production failure mode.
Reactive refresh on 401 is wrong. It doubles latency on the failing request and creates a thundering herd when all concurrent requests notice expiry at the same millisecond. Cache the token in-process and refresh proactively at 80% of TTL, behind a single-flight gate so concurrent callers serialize on one refresh.
This pattern applies to OAuth access tokens only — private-app tokens do not expire.
3. Scope validation on refresh (neutralizes scope drift)
When a portal admin edits scopes, your next token refresh silently returns a token with the new (reduced) scope set. Requests fail with 403 and no retry will help. Validate scopes immediately after each refresh:
Agencies and ISVs managing multiple HubSpot portals need per-portal token caches, not a single env var. Requests sent to the wrong portal silently operate on the wrong data with no error.
