Create your own app with the ClickUp API

Want to create an app that integrates with ClickUp? Give your users the ability to sign in using OAuth 2.0!

What you'll need

• Our API is available on all ClickUp Plans

• A Workspace owner or admin will need to create an app in your ClickUp Workspace

OAuth 2 Flow

When you want to develop an application that others can use, you must use an OAuth2 authentication flow.

With OAuth 2 everyone that uses your app gets assigned an individualized token. Each user can only access the content available to their individual ClickUp user account.

Tip: If you are unfamiliar with OAuth2, Digital Ocean has put together a great guide that should get you started.
