1 Download the API Specification

The WorkComposer API v2.0 is described using the OpenAPI 3.1.0 standard. You can download the specification file and use it with any OpenAPI-compatible tool to explore, test, or generate client code for the API.

2 Authentication Quick Start

All API requests require an API key passed in the X-API-Key request header.

curl -X GET "https://api.workcomposer.com/v2/users" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "usr_abc123",
      "email": "user@example.com",
      "name": "John Doe",
      "role": "member",
      ...
    }
  ],
  "nextCursor": "eyJpZCI6MTIzfQ",
  "hasMore": true
}

6 Use with cURL

cURL is available on all major operating systems and is the quickest way to test API endpoints from the command line.

curl -X GET "https://api.workcomposer.com/v2/projects?limit=10" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

curl -X POST "https://api.workcomposer.com/v2/projects" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My New Project",
    "description": "Project created via API"
  }'

# First page
curl -X GET "https://api.workcomposer.com/v2/tasks?limit=50" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"

# Next page (use nextCursor from previous response)
curl -X GET "https://api.workcomposer.com/v2/tasks?limit=50&cursor=eyJpZCI6MTIzfQ" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key_here"
