# Getting Started
Welcome to the API documentation.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- An API key
---
When to Use
Tasks:
- Understanding context: Get task details before starting work
- Quick task creation: Create tasks without leaving your terminal
- Daily standups: Use
my-tasksto see your assignments - Status updates: Post progress comments as you work
- Task management: Assign, prioritize, and set due dates
- Collaboration: View recent comments for context, add watchers
- Task organization: Add tags to categorize tasks
- Task linking: Reference task IDs in commit messages
Documents:
- Documentation: Create and maintain project documentation
- Knowledge base: Build reference guides and wikis
- Meeting notes: Store meeting notes and decisions
- Specifications: Write and update technical specs
- Quick edits: Update doc content without leaving the terminal
Tips
- Team ID, User ID, and default list ID are auto-cached in
.env - Set
CLICKUP_DEFAULT_LIST_IDto skip list_id when creating team tasks - Use
my-tasksfor a quick overview of your assignments - Use natural language dates: "tomorrow", "next friday", "+3d"
- Post comments to keep stakeholders updated on progress
- Include task IDs in commit messages for traceability
- Use
--jsonfor scripting or piping to other tools - Doc content uses markdown format for both input and output
- The Docs API uses v3 endpoints (workspace-based instead of team-based)
Technical Notes
Markdown Handling
ClickUp uses different content formats for different features:
| Feature | API Version | Content Format |
|---|---|---|
| Comments | v2 | Proprietary JSON array (converted via markdownToClickUp()) |
| Task descriptions | v2 | Native markdown via markdown_description field |
| Docs/Pages | v3 | Native markdown (no conversion needed) |
The Docs API (v3) accepts and returns markdown directly, so no conversion is required. This is different from comments which use a proprietary format that requires the lib/markdown.mjs conversion utilities.
Doc Page Structure
When you create a doc via the API, ClickUp automatically creates an empty first page. This has implications:
create-doc- Creates a doc with an auto-generated first page. Use--contentto populate that first page.create-page- Adds an additional page to a doc (second page, third page, etc.)edit-page- Modifies an existing page's content
To add content to a new doc, use create-doc "Title" --content "..." rather than creating the doc and then using create-page (which would leave the first page empty).
