Asana API

Collaboration across teams and tools works best when everyone stays in sync and processes flow easily and without friction. That is why we have Asana’s API: it is a platform to ensure all of your information is up to date and that your teams stay efficient and in the loop.

The Asana API is an interface providing programmatic access to much of the data in the system. It makes it easy to communicate from various environments: command-line utilities, gadgets, and even the browser URL bar itself. So, Asana’s API provides a means for software and scripts to read information from inside Asana, input information from outside Asana, and automatically react when things change.
