The API accepts only JSON requests. Please make sure you're setting Content-Type: application/json
in your request header. Each request returns a JSON-encoded body.
If the time entry is currently running, the duration attribute contains a negative value, denoting the start of the time entry in seconds since epoch (Jan 1 1970). The correct duration can be calculated as current_time + duration, where current_time is the current time in seconds since epoch.
The result of each action is communicated via standard HTTP response codes.
If you wish to use the API using CORS, we'll need to whitelist you first. Please refer to the CORS documentation
When request is successful (2xx), a nested response object is returned. Fields which value is NULL are not in the response.
