Build on Taskade's platform for applications, agents, and automation.
{% hint style="info" %} New to Taskade's API? Start with Personal Tokens (fast) or Authentication (OAuth 2.0), then use the API documentation. {% endhint %}
Platform Overview
Taskade provides a complete platform for building intelligent applications:
| Capability | Description | Learn More |
|---|---|---|
| AI App Builder | Generate full-stack applications from natural language | Taskade Genesis → |
| AI Agents Platform | Custom assistants with knowledge retrieval | AI Agents Guide → |
| Workflow Automation | Event-driven processing with 100+ integrations | Automations → |
| Projects & Data | Structured data with real-time sync and custom fields | Projects Guide → |
The API is built around real-time data synchronization and a unified intelligence layer that powers everything from simple CRUD operations to complex AI-driven workflows.
🚀 Quick Start
{% tabs %} {% tab title="First API Call" %}
Start with a Personal Access Token
Set up your development environment, get API keys, and make your first request in under 5 minutes.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
https://www.taskade.com/api/v1/workspaces
Get a token here: Personal Tokens. {% endtab %}
{% tab title="Authentication" %}

🛠️ Core APIs
Workspaces & Projects
Tree-structured data with real-time synchronization. Projects support conflict-free collaborative editing with instant synchronization across all connected clients. Each project maintains versioned change history for reliable collaboration.
Tasks & Data
Event-sourced task management with rich field types. Tasks support complex data relationships, custom field schemas, and atomic batch operations. The system maintains audit trails and supports time-travel queries for debugging and analytics.
AI Agents
Stateful AI agents with persistent memory and tool access. Each agent maintains its own knowledge graph derived from project data, documents, and conversation history. Agents can be composed into multi-agent workflows with dependency resolution and error handling.
⚡ Automations & Integrations
Automation System
Event-driven architecture with guaranteed delivery. Built on a distributed event system for reliable message processing. Supports exactly-once delivery semantics, failure handling, and automatic retry with exponential backoff.
Action & Trigger Reference
Reactive programming model with high reliability. Triggers provide real-time event detection and processing. Actions include robust error handling and timeout patterns for reliable external service integration.
Integration Reference
100+ pre-built connectors with OpenAPI 3.0 compliance. Each integration includes rate limiting, authentication handling, and automatic schema validation. Custom integrations support GraphQL subscriptions and WebSocket streaming.
🎯 Genesis API
Taskade Genesis
Build complete web applications from natural language prompts. Taskade Genesis handles code generation and automatic deployment.
📚 Resources
OpenAPI Specification
Interactive API documentation with live testing capabilities.
API Guide
Official and community-maintained libraries for popular languages.
API Best Practices
Performance characteristics and scaling guidelines. The platform is built for high-throughput applications with enterprise-grade performance. Rate limits are implemented to ensure fair usage across all users. Includes guidance on connection pooling, request batching, and optimal retry strategies.
