Build applications, agents, and automations on Taskade. This page describes the platform and guides you to your first API call.
New to Taskade's API? Start with Personal Tokens (fast) or Authentication (OAuth 2.0), then use the API documentation.
Platform Overview
Taskade provides these components for intelligent applications:
| Capability | Description | Learn More |
|---|---|---|
| AI App Builder | Generate full-stack applications from natural language | Taskade Genesis → |
| AI Agents Platform | Custom assistants with knowledge retrieval | AI Agents Guide → |
| Workflow Automation | Event-driven processing with 100+ integrations | Automations → |
| Projects & Data | Structured data and custom fields, synced live between people working in the Taskade workspace | Projects Guide → |
People who edit a project together see each other's changes as they occur. The API accesses the same data through HTTP requests.
The API supports CRUD calls and AI-driven workflows. Webhooks push events to your service after a data change.
Quick Start
First API Call
Start with a Personal Access Token
Get an API key. Then make your first request.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
https://www.taskade.com/api/v1/workspaces
Get a token here: Personal Tokens.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 (production)
When you need user-based auth and scoped access, use OAuth.
Supported methods:
- Personal Access Tokens (recommended for development)
- OAuth 2.0 (recommended for production): Authentication

Core APIs
Workspaces & Projects
Tree-structured project data with collaborative editing. Taskade Projects synchronize data for people in the Taskade workspace.
Project endpoints cover create, read, complete, restore, copy, and share links. Neither API renames or deletes a project. GET /projects/{projectId} is read-only.
Generated Taskade Genesis apps use request-and-response data access. They do not include a documented live-subscription client for app visitors.
Tasks & Data
Task records with custom fields. Create, read, update, and delete records through the documented endpoints.
Generated apps have no documented atomic batch API. Import large datasets in bounded chunks. Make sure that each write succeeds.
AI Agents
Stateful AI agents with persistent memory and tool access. Each agent maintains a knowledge graph from projects, documents, and conversations.
You can combine agents into multi-agent workflows with dependency resolution and error handling.
Automations & Integrations
Automation System
Event-driven automations. A trigger starts a run, and the steps execute in order.
The engine separates transient failures from permanent ones. It retries a transient failure with backoff. It stops a permanent failure and notifies you, so a broken connection does not burn credits.
Action & Trigger Reference
Triggers and actions. A trigger reacts to an event. An action does the work, and it carries its own error handling and timeout behavior for an external service.
Integration Reference
100+ automation connectors. Each connector handles authentication and the triggers or actions it documents. Custom HTTP steps can call other APIs. Generated apps do not expose a documented GraphQL subscription or WebSocket live-query layer.
Genesis API
Taskade Genesis
Build complete web applications from natural language prompts. Taskade Genesis handles code generation and automatic deployment.
Resources
OpenAPI Specification
Interactive API documentation with live testing.
API Guide
Official and community-maintained libraries for popular languages.
API Best Practices
Performance characteristics and scaling guidelines. Rate limits distribute capacity across users.
The guide covers connection pooling, request batching, and retry strategies.
