    Kanban Tool provides an API, which makes it extremely easy for any developer to integrate external systems with our platform - adding their own layer of awesomeness on the top of the Kanban Tool.

    Using the API, you can create your own useful plugins (created exactly to fit your needs), synchronize tasks with other platforms or even code a customized backup solution - anything you want!

    Getting started

    Obtaining your access token

    To interact with the API, you need to have a unique, personal access token, which is used to authenticate yourself within the API.

    To generate your access token, you should:

    1. Click on the My profile tab in the main menu:

      Step 1

    2. Click on the API access link:

      Step 2

    3. Click on the Enable API access button to generate a new token:

      Step 3

    4. Note down your newly generated token - you are going to need it soon:

      Step 4

    Accessing the API

    Using wrappers

    An example using our SDK:

    KT.init(YOUR_DOMAIN, YOUR_TOKEN).then(() => {
      console.log(
        KT.currentUser.get('name')
      );
    });
    
    // -- You can use KT.call to make simple REST API queries: //
    
    KT.call('GET', 'tasks/' + TASK_ID).then((response) => {
      console.log(response);
    });
    

    Instead of executing requests on your own, you can use our SDK library: https://kanbantool.com/assets/kanbantool-sdk.js

    It provides a fluent, modern interface, which allows you to easily communicate with our API, without worrying about the internals. You can learn more about it on the SDK documentation page.

    Using cURL

    An example using cURL:

    $ curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/users/current.json?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN'
    
    # or (whichever suits you best)
    
    $ curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/users/current.json' \
        -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'
    

    cURL is a sophisticated library (and a command-line application) which lets you send HTTP requests directly from your command line - it is available out-of-the-box in many Linux distributions.

    If you are familiar with working in the console environment, you should have no trouble using cURL.

    Using your web browser

    An example using a web browser (enter the URL in the address bar):

    https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/users/current.json?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN
    

    Last but not least: you can fully interact with our API directly from your browser! No third-party software or any complex development tools are required.

    Using other tools

    There are also numerous other tools, which simplify the process of fiddling with our API - just to name a few:

    Requests & Responses

    Requests

    The Kanban Tool API is built with REST in mind, providing a simple, human-readable interface.

    Example requests

    DELETE /api/v3/some_action.json

    POST /api/v3/some_action.json

    The _m parameter

    In case you have problem with using RESTful verbs, you can always pass the _m parameter, which defines the method you want to call:

    GET /api/v3/some_action.json?_m=delete

    Responses

    The API supports returning data in json and jsonp formats. The response type is dependent on the extension you pass:

    GET /api/v3/some_action.json?parameter=value

    GET /api/v3/some_action.json?callback=myFunction&parameter=value

    Authentication

    Example code:

    KT.init(YOUR_DOMAIN, YOUR_TOKEN).then(() => {
       // code after a successful authentication 
    });
    
    # Using Authorization header:
    
    $ curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/some_action.json' \
        -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'
    

    To use our API, you must first obtain your own access token - from now on we're going to assume you already have one.

    You can authenticate by passing your token in the Authorization HTTP header (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN).

    Working with Users

    Fetching users

    This command returns information about given user.

    Request

    GET /api/v3/users/:user_id.json

    Response

    This command returns a user object.

    Errors

    Fetching current user

    Example code:

    // KT.currentUser is loaded automatically upon a call to KT.init(...)
    KT.onInit(() => {
      console.log(KT.currentUser);
    });
    
    KT.init(YOUR_DOMAIN, API_TOKEN);
    
    curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/users/current.json' \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer ...'
    

    Example response:

    {
      "id": 1000,
      "version": 22,
      "name": "Jon Snow",
      "initials": "JS",
      "timezone": "Winterfell",
    
      /* ... */  
    }
    

    This command returns information about currently authenticated user.

    It is an equivalent of fetching the user, if you already know its id.

    Request

    GET /api/v3/users/current.json

    Response

    This command returns a user object.

    Errors

    This command usually does not fail.

    Working with Boards

    Listing accessible boards

    Example code:

    console.log(
        KT.currentUser.get('boards')
    );
    
    curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/users/current.json' \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer ...'
    

    Example response:

    {
      /* ... */
    
      "boards": [
        {
          "id": 100000,
          "name": "First Board",
          "folder": null,
          "position": null,
          "last_activity_on": "2018-01-01",
    
          "permissions": [
            "create_tasks",
            "read_tasks",
            "update_tasks",
            "delete_tasks",
            "move_tasks"
          ]
        },
    
        {
          "id": 100001,
    
          /* ... */
        }
    
        /* ... */
      ],
    
      /* ... */
    }
    

    To list all boards user has access to, you should fetch the user and access its boards field.

    Fetching boards

    Example code:

    KT.boards.stub(BOARD_ID).preload().then((board) => {
        console.log(board);
    });
    
    curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/boards/:board_id/preload.json' \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer ...'
    

    Example response:

    {
      "id": 100000,
      "version": 1,
      "external_id_sequence": 1,
      "account_id": 200000,

      "deleted_at": null,
    
      "swimlanes": [
        /* ... */
      ],
    
      "workflow_stages": [
        /* ... */
      ],
    
      "card_types": [
       /* ... */
      ],
    
      "collaborators": [
       /* ... */
      ],
    
      "stats": [

    Working with Attachments

    Listing attachments

    There's no endpoint dedicated only to listing attachments - you should fetch the task's details and access its attachments field.

    Creating attachments

    Example code:

    window.myCallback = (attachments) => {
      const successfullyUploadedAttachments = attachments[0];
      const attachment = successfullyUploadedAttachments[0];
    
      console.log(attachment);
    };
    
    KT.Attachments.upload({
      callback: 'myCallback',
      'attachments[][name]': 'some-file.gif',
      'attachments[][url]': 'https://i.imgur.com/yed5Zfk.gif',
    });
    
    curl 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN.kanbantool.com/api/v3/attachments.json' \
      -X 'POST' \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer ...' \
      -F 'files[]=@fileName.png' \
      -F 'attachable=Board#100000'
    

    Example response:

    [
      [
        {
          "id": 900000000,
          "name": "fileName.png",

    Objects Reference

    Field availability

    For optimization purposes, some commands return only a brief of object's data.

    For example: when requesting /api/v3/users/current.json, you'll receive list of all the boards user has access to, but it will not contain the board's tasks (since that'd yield a pretty huge object).

    To annotate this fact, we've created an Available in column in the objects references' tables, which denotes which fields are available in which commands.

    Board (object)

    Note: If you look for a human-friendly definition of board, you should go to the board's definition.

    Abbreviations used in the Available in column:
    F = fetching
    D = fetching details

    This object defines a single board; it contains both the board's basic data (like its name & position) and its relationships (like tasks or changelogs).

    Field Type Available in Description
    id integer F, D Board's unique identifier.
    version integer F, D Board's version. Counted from 1.
    external_id_sequence ?integer F, D Board's custom id, optional. Can be used to keep track of the board when synchronizing with other platforms.
    board_template_id string F, D If board's been cloned, this field contains id of that base board. Otherwise, this field contains name of the template used to create this board.
    folder_id ?integer F, D Board's folder id, if it belongs to any.
    owner_id integer F, D Id of the user who owns this board.
    position integer F, D Board's position in the list of all the boards. Counted from 1.
    name string F, D Board's name.
    description string F, D Board's description.
    last_activity_on date F, D Date of latest activity on the board.
    settings_updated_at ?dateTime F, D Date & time when board's settings were updated for the last time - if they have been updated.
    created_at dateTime F, D Date & time when board's been created.
    updated_at dateTime F, D Date & time when board's been updated for the last time.
    deleted_at ?dateTime F, D Date & time when board's been deleted - if it's been deleted.
    card_template Board.Settings.CardTemplateField[] F, D Data of the card template which belongs to this board. A shortcut for board.settings.card_template.
    card_types CardType[] F, D List of all the card types which belong to this board.
    swimlanes Swimlane[] F, D List of all the swimlanes which belong to this board.
    workflow_stages WorkflowStage[] F, D List of all the workflow stages which belong to this board.
    tasks Task[] D List of all the tasks which belong to this board.
    settings Board.Settings F, D Data of the board's settings.
    stats Board.Statistic[] F, D List of all the board's statistics.
    collaborators Collaborator[] F, D List of all the board's collaborators.
    changelogs Changelog[] D List of all the changelogs which belong to this board.

    Board.Statistic (nested object)

    This object defines a single board's statistic.

    It is a read-only, automatically generated object for each of the board's swimlanes and workflow stages.

    Field Type Description
    swimlane_id integer Statistic's swimlane's id.
    workflow_stage_id integer Statistic's workflow stage's id.
    visible_tasks integer Number of visible tasks in above swimlane & workflow stage's pair.
    archived_tasks integer Number of archived tasks in above swimlane & workflow stage's pair.

    Board.Settings (nested object)

    This object defines settings for a single board - it is a part of the board object, but has been created a section of it's own because of its complexity.

    The board settings define:

    Field Type Description
    card_template Board.Settings.CardTemplateField[] Defines settings of the board's tasks' card template.
    powerups Board.Settings.PowerUp[] Defines settings of the board's power-ups.

    Board.Settings.CardTemplateField (nested object)

    This object can be thought of as a schema for each task. It describes a single field present in each of the board's tasks - defines whether that field it's required, what's its default value and so on.

    By the default, this object contains following properties, but - depending on the specific field - there can be more of them:

    Property Type Description
    enabled boolean If equal to true, field is enabled.
    position integer Position of the field in the board's settings. Counted from 1.

    Additional properties for the external_id field

    The external_id field contains these additional properties:

    Property Type Description
    show_on_card boolean If equal to true, the external id is visible on the task's card.
    editable boolean If equal to true, the external id can be modified by users (from the interface). If equal to false, it can be modified only be the API.
    auto_generate boolean If equal to true, the external id field is generated automatically (in an auto increment fashion). If equal to false, you must fill the external id's value manually when creating a task.
    sequential boolean If equal to true, the external id field is forced to be a unique, sequential value throughout all the boards. If equal to false, this field is not validated and it's uniqueness is not enforced in any way.

    Additional properties for the size_estimate field

    The size_estimate field contains these additional properties:

    Property Type Description
    show_on_card boolean If equal to true, the size estimate field is visible on the task's card.
    default string Defines the default value for the size estimate field.
    values string Describes all the possible size estimates. It's for user information only - it's not parsed anywhere in the system.

    Additional properties for the custom_field_N fields

    The custom_field_N fields (custom_field_1, custom_field_2 and so on) contain these additional properties:

    Property Type Description
    label string Custom field's label (e.g. Difficulty points).
    type string Custom field's type, one of: text, link, number, select, date, user.
    width string Custom field's percentage width when rendering; one of: 25, 50, 75, 100.
    options string When this field represents a custom dropdown (select type), this field contains comma-separated list of possible values.
    multiple string When this field represents a dropdown (select or user type), this field determines whether one can choose many values or only one.
    multiline string When this field represents a text (text type), this field determines whether one can write multi-line text inside.

    Board.Settings.PowerUp (nested object)

    This is the base for all the power-ups' settings - each power-up can put any configuration data it requires in this object:

    Property Type Description
    enabled boolean If equal to true, power-up is enabled.

    Since it's power-up-dependent and highly internal, we're not going to cover those settings - if you need to do anything more than just enabling / disabling power-ups, you're on your own.

    Card Type (object)

    This object defines the overall look of of task's card type - it determines e.g. the task's background color.

    Field Type Description
    id integer Card type's unique identifier.
    board_id integer Id of the board to which this card type belongs to.
    name string Card type's label; unique to the board.
    color_ref string Card type's color. See table below for reference.
    is_default boolean If equal to true, all future tasks created at given board will be set this card type by the default
    is_disabled boolean If equal to true, card type is marked as disabled.
    position integer Position of the card type in the board's card type list. Counted from 1.
    color_attrs CardType.ColorAttrs Object describing card type's color.

    CardType.color_ref (field)

    Definitions

    Since some concepts used when talking about kanban boards are not necessarily obvious, we've prepared a few descriptions accompanied with screenshots to help you understand our tool better.

    Board (definition)

    Note: If you look for a programmer-friendly definition of board, you should go to the board's object reference.

    Board is a fundamental piece of the Kanban Tool - this is where all the magic happens.

    Board consists of:

    An example board can look like:

    Board

    You can see here:

    Swimlane (definition)

    Note: If you look for a programmer-friendly definition of swimlane, you should go to the swimlane's object reference.

    Swimlanes are used to group tasks vertically - for example to easily distribute work against many teams:

    Swimlane

    Each board has its own set of swimlanes, which can be altered in any way you like.

    Task (definition)

    Note: If you look for a programmer-friendly definition of task, you should go to the task's object reference.

    Task is a note, which belongs to a certain board, swimlane and a workflow stage.

    Task is also defined by its:

    Task

    Additionally, each task can contain from zero to a lots of subtasks - the task presented above has 4 of them.

    Workflow Stage (definition)

    Note: If you look for a programmer-friendly definition of workflow stage, you should go to the workflow stage's object reference.

    Workflow stage determines the status of your task - it can be In progress, Done and so on:

    Workflow stage

    Each board has its own set of workflow stages, which can be altered in any way you like.

    Moreover - workflow stages can be 'stacked' on top of each other, creating a hierarchy:
