clickup

Work with tasks using the ClickUp API.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles clickup the way a machine reads it — 95 machine-readable artifacts across 13 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — clickup scores 49.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 54/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile clickup

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for clickup. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 13

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

clickup Authorization API

Operations for retrieving authenticated user information.

clickup Comments API

Operations for managing comments on tasks, views, and lists.

clickup Custom Fields API

Operations for retrieving custom field definitions and setting custom field values on tasks.

clickup Folders API

Operations for managing Folders within ClickUp Spaces.

clickup Goals API

Operations for managing Goals and Key Results within a ClickUp Workspace.

clickup Lists API

Operations for managing Lists within ClickUp Spaces and Folders.

clickup OAuth API

Operations for OAuth 2.0 authentication and token management.

clickup Spaces API

Operations for managing Spaces within a ClickUp Workspace.

clickup Tasks API

Operations for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting tasks within ClickUp lists and workspaces.

clickup Teams API

Operations for retrieving Workspace (team) information and membership.

clickup Time Tracking API

Operations for managing time entries and timers within a ClickUp Workspace.

clickup Views API

Operations for managing views at various levels of the ClickUp hierarchy.

clickup Webhooks API

Operations for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting webhook subscriptions.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

ClickUp GraphQL

ClickUp does not offer a native public GraphQL API. The platform exposes its functionality exclusively through a REST API (v2) available at `https://api.clickup.com/api/v2`. The...

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

ClickUp Webhooks Events

The ClickUp Webhooks event system delivers real-time notifications when changes occur within a ClickUp Workspace. When subscribed events happen, ClickUp sends HTTP POST requests...

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 41

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
