LiquidPlanner uses a RESTful web service API. You can download the API Guide (PDF) for offline reference. Most actions that you can perform within the application can be automated using the API -- for example, you can create a task, comment on the task, track time against it, and then mark it done.

You can request a list of your timers in a given workspace:
GET /api/workspaces/:workspace_id/timersand to access your timer for a particular task:
GET /api/workspaces/:workspace_id/tasks/:task_id/timerThis will always return a timer object (either a running/stopped timer, or a newly created “stub” timer – but never nil).
To start, stop, or clear a timer:
POST /api/workspaces/:workspace_id/tasks/:task_id/timer/start
POST /api/workspaces/:workspace_id/tasks/:task_id/timer/stop
POST /api/workspaces/:workspace_id/tasks/:task_id/timer/clearOn success, each of these calls returns the affected timer.
