Hub Planner
On This Page
Hub Planner is a cloud-based project and resource management platform that allows businesses to manage their projects. It enables you to allocate resources to projects according to their availability, set budgets, calculate spends, and generate insights and reports for these projects.
You can replicate the data from your Hub Planner account to a Destination database or data warehouse using Hevo Pipelines. Hub Planner uses an API key to identify Hevo and authorize the request for accessing account data. Hevo ingests the data in Full Load mode. Refer to section, Data Model for the list of supported objects.

-
You are logged in as an Account Owner user, to obtain the API key. Else, you can obtain it from your account administrator.
Obtaining the API Key

Data Replication
| Default Ingestion Frequency | Minimum Ingestion Frequency | Maximum Ingestion Frequency | Custom Frequency Range (Hrs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Hr | 1 Hr | 24 Hrs | 1-24 |

Source Considerations
-
Pagination: Each API response for a Hub Planner object fetches one page with up to 1000 records.
-
Rate Limit: Hub Planner imposes a limit of 50 API calls per 5 seconds to ensure that their system remains stable for usage by all users. Read API Limits to configure a suitable ingestion frequency for your Pipeline.
-
To ingest data from the Timesheets and Unassigned Work objects, you must add the respective extensions to your Hub Planner account.
Limitations
-
Hevo currently does not support deletes. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.
-
You cannot specify a duration for loading the historical data. Hevo loads the entire data present in your Hub Planner account.
