Try it
Make your first REST API calls without writing code: in the playground on each operation page, or in Postman.
The REST API takes a JSON request and a bearer token, so any HTTP client can call it. Every call needs a personal access token.
| Client | Best for | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Playground | A quick call from the docs, nothing to install | Paste your token on the operation page |
| Postman | Saving and repeating calls | Create a request with a bearer token |
Playground
Every operation page in the API reference has a playground. Enter your TimeLog address and your token, fill in the parameters, and send the request from the page.
GET /v1/user/me: it returns the user your
token acts as and changes nothing.Postman
Create a request
Choose New > HTTP Request, select the method and enter the URL, for example
GET https://app{server-number}.timelog.com/{account}/api/v1/user/me.
Set the token
On the Authorization tab, choose the type Bearer Token and paste your personal access token into Token.
Postman sends the Authorization header for you.
Send
Click Send. Status 200 OK and your own user under Properties mean the token works. For a POST or PUT, open
Body, choose raw and JSON, and paste the request body from the operation page.
