Asana

API

Programmatic access to your Asana workspace data and workflows

Overview

The Asana API is a RESTful interface enabling programmatic access to all Asana workspace data—tasks, projects, teams, users, comments, and attachments. It uses JSON for request/response formats and OAuth 2.0 authentication. Key endpoints support creating/updating tasks, managing projects, fetching team details, and setting webhooks for real-time events. Use cases include automating workflows, syncing with CRM systems, generating custom reports, and building internal tools to streamline productivity.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://developers.asana.com/docs')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
