ClickUp

API

Robust API for ClickUp's project management & productivity platform

Overview

The ClickUp API provides RESTful access to ClickUp's cloud-based project management features, supporting JSON responses. It includes endpoints for tasks, projects, documents, time tracking, team management, and goal tracking. Use cases range from automating task creation/sync with external tools (e.g., Slack, CRM systems) to generating custom productivity reports, integrating document collaboration workflows, and building tailored dashboards. Authentication uses API keys, and webhooks enable real-time updates for changes like task status shifts.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


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