- What we need
- 1 personal API token
- Time
- about 2 minutes
- Who can do this
- any ClickUp user. The token can only see what that user can see, so use an account that has access to the right Spaces.
- Plan needed
- works on all ClickUp plans, including Free
Before you start
- Log in details for the ClickUp account we should use.
- OneTimeSecret open in another tab. You will use it to send the token. How it works.
Get your API token
Log in to ClickUp
Go to app.clickup.com and log in.
Open Settings
Click your profile picture (avatar). Click Settings.
Go to Apps
In the left sidebar, click Apps.
Generate and copy the token
Under API Token, click Generate. Then click Copy.
Careful
Copy the whole token. It starts with
pk_.
Send it to us
Send it with OneTimeSecret
Paste the token into OneTimeSecret, create the link, and send us only the link. Label it "ClickUp API token".
Something not right?
I already have a token. Should I click Regenerate?
Only if no other tool uses it. Regenerating replaces the old token straight away, and anything using the old one stops working. If you're unsure, just copy the existing token.
I can't find my profile picture
Depending on your ClickUp version, it is in the top-right or bottom-left corner of the screen.
What can you see with this token?
Everything the logged-in user can see. If you want to limit our access, create a separate ClickUp user (a guest is fine) with access only to the right Spaces, and get the token from that account.
