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.

Each API request is authenticated by HTTP Basic Authentication. Use the same credentials (email address and password) that you use to login to the LiquidPlanner web application.
Incorrect or missing authentication credentials will return status 401 Unauthorized.
Once authenticated, you are authorized to access information only from the workspaces in which you are an active member. If your membership in a workspace is inactive or the workspace owner disables API access to the workspace, then the workspace will not appear in your list of workspaces, and you will not be able to access its contents.
