We’ve completely rebuilt our API documentation and given it a new home at developer.timely.com.
More and more customers want to connect Timely with their existing tools — syncing projects from external tools, pushing time data to other systems for analysis or feeding hours into invoicing systems. We’ve always supported that, but it was time for an even better and simpler experience helping you at every step. Our new developer portal delivers exactly that.
Everything in one place
Developers can now find everything they need to build integrations with Timely in a single, self-service portal: authentication guides, full endpoint references, and real-world examples for common scenarios like payroll sync and project imports.
Full OpenAPI 3.1 specification
The portal ships with a complete OpenAPI 3.1 spec. Auto-generate API clients in virtually any language, import the spec into tools like Postman with a single click, and start making requests in minutes instead of hours.
Try the API directly from the docs
Log in to the portal and make live API requests without leaving the browser — no need to set up a separate client or copy tokens around. Every endpoint also comes with auto-generated request examples across multiple languages, so you can grab a working snippet in cURL, Python, JavaScript or whatever you’re building with and start running it immediately.
Use-case-driven documentation
Instead of just listing endpoints, the new docs walk developers through actual workflows: importing data into Timely, exporting reports, and setting up real-time webhooks. Less guesswork, fewer support tickets.
