Clixify: Python Client for ClickUp API v2

Clixify: Python Client for ClickUp API v2

A Python library providing an object-oriented interface to interact with the ClickUp API v2. This library aims to simplify common operations like managing workspaces, spaces, folders, lists, and tasks.

Features

• Object-Oriented: Interact with ClickUp resources (Workspaces, Spaces, Folders, Lists, Tasks) as Python objects.
• Hierarchy Management: Easily navigate and manage the ClickUp hierarchy (Workspace -> Space -> Folder -> List -> Task).
• Core CRUD Operations: Create, Read (Get), Update, Delete operations for major resources where applicable via the API.
• Task Management:
  • Create tasks within lists.
  • List tasks with filtering and automatic pagination support (get_all=True).
  • Update task details (name, description, status, priority, dates, etc.).
  • Assign/Unassign users by ID or Name (with ambiguity handling).
  • Add/Get task comments.
  • Add/Remove task tags (by name).
  • Add/Remove task watchers (by ID or Name).
  • Create subtasks.
  • Add/Remove task dependencies.
• User Resolution: Find users within a List context by name or email fragment for assignments/watchers, raising specific exceptions (UserNotFoundByNameError, AmbiguousUserNameError) on failure.
• Rate Limiting: Includes a built-in delay (time.sleep) between requests to help avoid rate limits.
• Caching: Basic caching for list members, spaces, folders, and lists to reduce redundant API calls.

Installation

pip install clixify

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• requests
• python-dotenv (for loading API key from .env file)

Install requirements:

pip install requests python-dotenv

Configuration

Obtain your Personal API Token from your ClickUp account settings (Settings -> Apps).

Create a file named .env in the root directory of your project.

Add your API token to the .env file:

CLICKUP_TOKEN=pk_YOUR_PERSONAL_API_TOKEN_HERE

The library will automatically load the token from this environment variable. Alternatively, you can pass the token directly when initializing the client:

from clixify.client import ClickUpClient
client = ClickUpClient(token="pk_YOUR_PERSONAL_API_TOKEN_HERE")

Quick Start

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from clixify.client import ClickUpClient
from clixify.team import Team

load_dotenv()

try:
    client = ClickUpClient()
    print("Client initialized.")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
    exit()

team_manager = Team(client)

workspace_name = "Your Target Workspace Name"  # <-- CHANGE THIS
my_workspace = team_manager.get_workspace(workspace_name)

if my_workspace:
    print(f"Found Workspace: {my_workspace.name} (ID: {my_workspace.id})")
    print("\nListing spaces...")
    spaces = my_workspace.list_spaces()
    if spaces:
        for space in spaces:
            print(f" - Space: {space.name} (ID: {space.id})")
    else:
        print("No spaces found in this workspace.")
else:
    print(f"Workspace '{workspace_name}' not found.")

Error Handling

The library uses custom exceptions for specific known issues found in the clixify.exceptions module:

• UserNotFoundByNameError: Raised during name resolution if a provided name query does not match any user.
• AmbiguousUserNameError: Raised if a provided name query matches multiple users. Includes details of matches found.
• clixifyException: Base exception for other library-specific errors.

Example:

from clixify.exceptions import UserNotFoundByNameError, AmbiguousUserNameError

try:
    my_list.create_task(name="Test Ambiguity", assignees=["admin"])
except AmbiguousUserNameError as e:
    print(f"Assignment failed: {e}")
    print("Please use a more specific name or the User ID.")
except UserNotFoundByNameError as e:
    print(f"Assignment failed: User '{e.name_query}' not found in list '{e.list_id}'.")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")

Rate Limiting

A default delay of 0.65 seconds is automatically added before each API request in ClickUpClient.request to help prevent hitting standard ClickUp API rate limits.
