Introduction

Welcome to the Timing API reference.

If you prefer a more interactive presentation of the API, you can download our Postman Collection and open it in a tool like Postman or Paw.

We also offer three Siri shortcuts that demonstrate starting and stopping timers via the API:

• Start Timing Timer
• Start Timing Timer (letting you select a project for the timer first)
• Start Fixed Timing Timer (letting you enter timer title and project name once)
• Stop Timing Timer

The "Start Fixed Timing Timer" shortcut will ask you once for a combination of timer title and project name. From then on, it will always launch a shortcut with that combination of title and project. You can create several copies of this shortcut (e.g. by duplicating it), each with a different title/project combination.

Use Cases

Siri Shortcuts and Automation

Using the Timing API, you can quickly create Siri shortcuts to e.g. start and stop timers. During installation, the shortcuts will ask you for an API which you can generate in the 'API Keys' section of the web app. Once installed, simply run the corresponding shortcut to start or stop a timer.

• Start Timing Timer
• Start Timing Timer (letting you select a project for the timer first)
• Start Fixed Timing Timer (letting you enter timer title and project name once)
• Stop Timing Timer

The "Start Fixed Timing Timer" shortcut will ask you once for a combination of timer title and project name. From then on, it will always launch a shortcut with that combination of title and project. You can create several copies of this shortcut (e.g. by duplicating it), each with a different title/project combination.

Feel free to customize these shortcuts to your liking, e.g. by changing the "Start Timer" shortcut to let you select from a couple of preset titles instead. We are also interested in the shortcuts you create, so please let us know what you build with this!

You could also create scripts that start or stop a timer whenever you perform a specific action; see Start a new timer. and Stop the currently running timer. for the corresponding API calls.

Integrating with your billing system

The API also makes it possible to integrate with whatever billing system you are currently using. Simply retrieve your most recent time entries, then send them to your billing system in the desired format. You can also create a script to create a custom report in exactly the format you need, of course.

Make sure to have a look at the ?include_project_data=true query parameter to include the corresponding project's attributes in the response. This lets you retrieve project titles without having to do a second API call to the "Projects" collection.

GrandTotal integration

The GrandTotal plugin for Timing already uses the Timing Web API to import your team members' time entries. To use that functionality, please refer the corresponding section in the documentation.

Zapier integration

We also offer a Zapier integration. This lets you connect the API to thousands of other services with just a few clicks, solving the problems mentioned above without having to write any code. To start using this integration, see the Zapier section in the web app.

Example use cases include:

• Creating projects for your team members whenever a new project is created in your project management system (e.g. Trello, Asana)
• Importing a list of projects for each team member from a Google Spreadsheet
• Automatically sending finished time entries to your billing system
• Automatically exporting your team members' time entries to a Google Spreadsheet
• Sending a message to a Slack channel whenever you start or stop a task
• Emailing you weekly reports of your team members' logged hours
• And much more...

We also recommend for you to reach out and let us know your desired use cases! This helps us prioritize which API features to build first.

API Usage

The API root is https://web.timingapp.com/api/v1. All endpoint URLs share this prefix. Sample code for each available API call can be found in the right-hand column. Note that query parameters need to be URL-encoded, as shown in the Bash example for the Return a list of time entries. call.

Authentication

The Timing API requires authentication with an API key. You can generate a key in the 'API Keys' section of the web app. Once generated, add an Authorization header to each request with value Bearer {{token}}, where {{token}} is your key.

Rate limiting

The API enforces a rate limit of 500 requests per hour. You can retrieve your current quota via the x-ratelimit-remaining header attached to every request. In addition, sending more than 200 requests per minute will also trigger a temporary rate limit.

Request and response data

The API expects requests and returns responses in the JSON format. The actual response payload can be found in the data field. Additional data might be provided in the links and meta fields described below. Refer to the descriptions of individual API calls for concrete examples.

Repeated fields

Query parameters ending with a [] can be passed repeatedly. For example, passing ?columns[]=title&columns[]=notes will show both the "Title" and the "Notes" columns. Optionally, ascending indices can be provided (e.g. ?columns[0]=title&columns[1]=notes), which makes it easier to build queries in e.g. PHP.

Date format

As Timing is a time-tracking application, its API has to work with many dates. Dates returned by the API will always be formatted as an ISO8601 string including microseconds as well as the time zone, for example 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000000+00:00.

When sending dates in your requests, we recommend providing dates in a format appropriate to the type of request:

• For time entries, and other requests where the exact time is important, use an ISO8601 format without microseconds but including the time zone, for example 2019-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 or 2019-01-01 00:00:00+00.
• For requests where the exact time is not important, such as on a report, use a date-only ISO8601 format, for example 2019-01-01. In this case, the beginning of a date range (e.g. start_date_min) will be interpreted as the start of the day in the user's time zone, and the end of a date range (e.g. start_date_max), will be interpreted as the end of the day in the user's time zone.

Timezone

When a timezone is not provided, the default timezone for an unqualified date is assumed to be UTC. For example, 2019-01-01T00:00:00 would be interpreted as 2019-01-01T00:00:00+0000. This may be subject to change, however, so try to provide a timezone with your request whenever possible.

A default timezone may be provided, using the X-Time-Zone header. When this header is set to a valid timezone, any unqualified date is assumed to be in this timezone instead of UTC.

The header only affects input parameters, and all dates are currently returned in UTC. This however may change in the future, so your code should not make any assumptions about this, and always account for the timezone specified in the results.

References

The Timing API identifies entities via the self field, which contains a link relative to the API root, for example /projects/1. This avoids any ambiguity about the type of the linked resource and provides you with a convenient way of looking it up, without having to look up the correct API call in this documentation: Simply append the link's value to the API root, resulting in e.g. https://web.timingapp.com/api/v1/projects/1.

References should be treated as opaque strings; your code should not assumptions about their structure.

Shallow references

For API responses that contain related entities, these entities are usually referenced in a "shallow" fashion. Instead of including the full object, a placeholder containing only the self field is provided, e.g. as "parent": {"self": "/projects/1"}. For the Return a list of time entries. call, you can append the ?include_project_data=true query parameter to include the corresponding project's attributes in the response. This lets you retrieve project titles without having to do a second API call to the "Projects" collection.

Links

Some responses include links to related queries or entities. This includes pagination and queries for related entries.

Pagination

By default, collection responses are paginated to 100 items per page. The links to retrieve the first, last, next and previous pages are part of the response's links field. Additional information about the paginated data can be found in the meta field.

Projects

Return the complete project hierarchy.

Reports

Generate a report that can contain both time entries and app usage.

requires authentication

Returns a JSON array with several rows; each row includes the total duration (in seconds) belonging to the corresponding other (configurable) columns.

The include_app_usage and include_team_members parameters govern whether to include app usage (otherwise, only time entries are returned) as well as data for other team members.
The start_date_min, start_date_max, projects(also see include_child_projects) and search_query parameters allow filtering the returned data.
The columns, project_grouping_level, include_project_data, timespan_grouping_mode, and sort parameters govern the presentation of the returned data.
