Todoist

API

API for managing Todoist todo lists and productivity workflows

Overview

The Todoist API provides RESTful endpoints to manage tasks, projects, labels, filters, comments, and user productivity data. It supports JSON request/response formats and uses OAuth 2.0 for secure access. Key endpoints include creating/updating/deleting tasks, fetching project details, retrieving completed task history, and setting up webhooks for real-time updates. Use cases include integrating Todoist with project management tools, automating task creation from external triggers (e.g., emails, calendar events), syncing tasks across devices, and generating custom productivity reports.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


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