• Support writing technical documentation on HubSpot.
• Markdown to HTML converter with a few bells and whistles relevant for creating HubSpot blog posts.
• Upload blog posts and files to the HubSpot API, using the hubspot-api-python package.
• See community request about »Markdown Support for Technical Bloggers«.

pip install --upgrade hubspot-tech-writing

After installation, you can verify if it was successful.

hstw --version

You can convert a Markdown file on your workstation, and write the output to an HTML file.

wget -O original.md https://github.com/crate-workbench/hubspot-tech-writing/raw/main/tests/data/hubspot-blog-post-original.md hstw convert original.md converted.html

Alternatively, convert a Markdown file at a remote location, and write the output to STDOUT.

hstw convert https://github.com/crate-workbench/hubspot-tech-writing/raw/main/tests/data/hubspot-blog-post-original.md

In order to report about missing links to the web, or inline images, run the link checker on your Markdown documents.

hstw linkcheck original.md

Alternatively, you can also use a remote resource here.

hstw linkcheck https://github.com/crate-workbench/hubspot-tech-writing/raw/main/tests/data/hubspot-blog-post-original.md

Uploading to HubSpot is mostly an iterative process, so you will most likely need to use the program multiple times on the same resource. In order ease invocation, we recommend to define an environment variable for storing your access token to the HubSpot API.

export HUBSPOT_ACCESS_TOKEN=pat-na1-e8805e92-b7fd-5c9b-adc8-2299569f56c2

Upload HTML file from workstation. The name of the blog post will be derived from the file name.

hstw upload testdrive.html

Upload PNG image from workstation to folder path on hubfs.

hstw upload testdrive.png --folder-path=/foo/bar

Convert Markdown to HTML, upload the document under a different name, and also upload all referenced images.

hstw upload /path/to/document.md --name=a-different-name --folder-path=/blog/2023/topic

For more detailed information about this feature, please refer to the inline help:

hstw upload --help

You can delete blog post and file entities, by their unique resource identifiers, or by name resp. path.

# Delete blog post by resource identifier. hstw delete post --id=138458225506

# Delete file by path. hstw delete file --path=/testdrive/foo.png

For more detailed information about this feature, please refer to the inline help:

hstw delete --help

If you are uploading directly from GitHub, and run such a command,

hstw upload https://github.com/acme/foo-repo/raw/main/article.md --name=testdrive 

only to receive an error message like this,

{ "correlationId": "4836e94d-e42b-47a1-afff-597d8b67ba93", "errorType": "BLOG_POST_CONTAINS_EMBEDDED_IMAGES", "message": "Blog posts may not contain embedded images. Please upload images to File Manager.", "status": "error" }

you are most certainly using a "private" repository, where hstw does not have access permissions to.
