Overview

The ClickUp API provides access to tasks, spaces, folders, lists, goals, and time-tracking data within your ClickUp workspace. It supports building integrations, automating task management, and syncing project data with other tools. OAuth is required for apps serving multiple users, but personal tokens work well for single-workspace automation.

💡

Beginner Tip

Start with a personal API token from your ClickUp profile settings to avoid the OAuth flow during initial testing. Retrieve your team ID first with GET /team, as most other endpoints require it.

Implementation Example

// ⚠️ Note: This URL may be a documentation page. Check official docs for actual API endpoint.
const url = "https://clickup.com/api";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 OAUTH_024: token not found The API token in the Authorization header is invalid or expired.
Re-generate your personal API token in ClickUp under Settings > Apps and update your requests.
400 Invalid workspace The team_id used in the endpoint is wrong.
Call GET /team first to retrieve valid team IDs associated with your account.
429 Too Many Requests Rate limit exceeded (100 requests per minute per token).
Add retry logic with exponential backoff and cache repeated lookups like team or space IDs.
