Asana API

API

Programmatic access to Asana work management data

Overview

The Asana API provides RESTful access to all data within your Asana workspaces, including tasks, projects, users, teams, comments, and attachments. It uses JSON for request/response formats and supports OAuth 2.0 authentication. Key endpoints allow creating/updating tasks, fetching project details, managing team members, and querying analytics. Use cases include automating repetitive workflows (e.g., task creation from customer tickets), syncing Asana data with CRM/ERP systems, generating custom performance reports, and integrating with internal tools for seamless collaboration.

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));
