RESTful API for SwiftKanban's Kanban Workflow & Productivity Management

Overview

The SwiftKanban API is a RESTful web service integrating SwiftKanban’s Kanban capabilities with external tools. It uses JSON responses and offers endpoints for managing boards, cards, workflows, users, and performance metrics (lead time, throughput). Use cases include automating card creation from CRMs, syncing workflow updates across tools, extracting productivity analytics for reporting, and customizing Kanban visualizations. Developers leverage standard REST operations (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) to streamline workflows and boost organizational productivity.
