CraftDesk API: Build Integrations Your Way
We've heard it loud and clear: integrations matter. Teams don't live in a single tool anymore—they live across Slack, GitHub, Jira, custom dashboards, and everywhere in between. That's why we're excited to announce that the CraftDesk API is now live for all plans.
What You Can Do
With our REST API, you can:
- Create and manage projects programmatically. Spin up project structures automatically based on templates or external triggers.
- Manage team members at scale. Add collaborators, adjust permissions, and remove access without touching the UI.
- Track usage and pull reports. Export project data, activity logs, and team metrics into your own analytics pipeline.
- Sync with external systems. Build Slack bots that create CraftDesk tasks, hook CI/CD pipelines to project milestones, or feed time-tracking data back to CraftDesk.
Rate Limits by Plan
API calls are metered based on your plan:
- Starter – 1,000 calls per month. Great for occasional integrations or testing.
- Professional – 50,000 calls per month. Supports robust workflows and frequent polling.
- Business – 500,000 calls per month. Ideal for heavy usage and real-time sync scenarios.
Usage is tracked on real-time dashboards in your account settings, and you'll receive warnings before approaching limits.
Getting Started
Authentication is simple. Generate an API key from your account settings, include it in the Authorization: Bearer header, and you're ready to go. Full API documentation is available at api.craftdesk.app/docs with interactive examples for every endpoint.
Use Cases We Love
Slack Integration – Team members mention @craftdesk in Slack, and tasks are created automatically.
CI/CD Integration – Your deployment pipeline updates CraftDesk milestones and notifies the team of releases.
Custom Dashboards – Pull real-time metrics via the API and render them in your own analytics tools.
Bulk Operations – Migrate legacy projects or onboard new teams in minutes with scripts instead of manual clicking.
The API respects all your existing permissions and entitlements, so data isolation and security remain rock-solid. Start building today—your next workflow automation is just an API call away.
Happy integrating.
