REST API for goodday work management. Base URL: https://api.goodday.work/2.0 — HTTPS only, the API does not answer over HTTP.
Authentication
Every request carries the API token in the gd-api-token header. Read it from the environment variable GOODDAY_API_TOKEN — never hardcode a token into code or a command.
curl -H "gd-api-token: $GOODDAY_API_TOKEN" https://api.goodday.work/2.0/projects
If GOODDAY_API_TOKEN is unset, stop and tell the user to export it (the token comes from their goodday Organization → Settings → API screen); do not proceed without it.
Conventions
- All write routes (POST/PUT) identify the acting user with a user-id field in the JSON body —
userId,fromUserId, orcreatedByUserIdas noted per route. This is required. - Dates are
YYYY-MM-DDstrings. OnPUT /task/{TASK-ID}/update, sendingnullfor a nullable field resets it. {PROJECT-ID},{TASK-ID},{TAG-ID},{USER-ID}are path segments you substitute with real IDs.
The complete route set
The routes below are the entire Projects, Tasks, and Users surface of the goodday API v2 — this is all of them. No other Projects, Tasks, or Users routes exist. Do not invent paths, guess endpoints, or assume an unlisted operation is available; if a capability is not listed here, the API does not offer it.
