Leantime
[Question] API?
I'd like to export our current Trello board into ToDo board of Leantime. I can write a script to pull information from Trello and put it into Leantime, but I could not find any information about it's API and whether it even has one?
We currently don't have an official API. We are working on one but it is still a few months away from being completed. The easiest way to add data right now would be to import it into the database directly. I'd be happy to do a quick write up on the database structure if that would help.
Thanks. No, I dont think writeup is necessary for me, but maybe for others. I guess this is why frameworks like Django or Flask are so popular, they basically offer API out of the box :)
Yeah, true. The very first leantime version was created a few years back as small experiment and it grew from there. There are certainly pros and cons to this. Porting it to use a framework wouldn't be feasible at this point anymore, so we re just trying to make the best of it by staying very slim.

Well, it's your project, so you do what you think is right :)
But there are a fair amount of huge services like Dropbox and the like that did change their backend technologies and frameworks at some point. I'm not saying you should do it, I'm just saying that sometimes even with a big project already in production it's worth it to switch to some other framework\tools for long term gains. It's often hard to see long term benefits of such decisions.
Anyway this is apparently not a topic to discuss in github issues. Will wait for API :)
@marcelfolaron - I know its been a few years - has there been any progress made on this front?
As a matter of fact, we have made some progress. The branch https://github.com/Leantime/leantime/tree/API-POC contains a current proof of concept and comes with quite a few endpoints already
To login and get a bearer token POST to auth/login with an existing user (at least editor) username, password and api (set to true)
This will get you bearer token for all subsequent calls
Existing endpoints
GET /api/tickets/ID - Get single ticket POST /api/ticket - create new ticket PATCH /api/ticket/id - update
Other endpoints /api/ideas /api/leancanvas /api/users
Would love if someone could run some tests and give feedback
