A Wrapper for the Clockify API • clockify

API Key

You’re going to need to have an API key from your Clockify account. If you don’t yet have an account, create one. Then retrieve the API key from the account settings.

Get Started

The first thing you’ll need to do is set up your API key. I store mine in an environment variable called CLOCKIFY_API_KEY.

CLOCKIFY_API_KEY <- Sys.getenv("CLOCKIFY_API_KEY")

Now load the {clockify} package and specify the API key.

library(clockify)

set_api_key(CLOCKIFY_API_KEY)

Let’s turn on some logging so we can see what’s happening behind the scenes.

library(logger)

log_threshold(INFO)

Workspaces

Time Entries

Retrieve Time Entries

Retrieve the time entries for the authenticated user.

time_entries()

Retrieve time entries for another user specified by their user ID.

time_entries(user_id = "630f15d3b59c366b0e3ae2e6")

Insert Time Entry

prepare_cran_entry <- time_entry_create(
  project_id = "630ce53290cfd8789366fd49",
  start = "2021-08-30 08:00:00",
  end = "2021-08-30 10:30:00",
  description = "Prepare for CRAN submission"
)

Check on the ID for this new time entry.

prepare_cran_entry$time_entry_id

[1] "64f21f2ad397e5503bef3bb4"

Confirm that it has been inserted.

time_entries(concise = FALSE) %>%
  select(time_entry_id, description, time_start, time_end)

# A tibble: 1 × 4
  time_entry_id            description   time_start          time_end

Delete Time Entry

time_entry_delete(prepare_cran_entry$time_entry_id)

[1] TRUE

Confirm that it has been deleted.

time_entries(concise = FALSE) %>%
  select(time_entry_id, description, time_start, time_end)

# A tibble: 0 × 4
# ℹ 4 variables: time_entry_id <chr>, description <chr>, time_start <dttm>,
