Public API

When I paste a ClickUp task link directly into a Doc, it turns into a live task card showing the task's status, assignee, and priority, and it stays current. I love this. It turns a Doc into a real dashboard. But when a task link is added to a Doc page any other way, through an automation, an integration, or an AI assistant connected to ClickUp, it does NOT turn into one of those cards. It just stays a plain blue link. No status, no assignee, no priority. This breaks a workflow a lot of us want: building a Doc automatically and having it show live task cards. For example, I want a "Daily Cockpit" Doc that lists my tasks for the day, each one showing its current status at a glance, generated automatically every morning instead of me pasting every link by hand. The request: when a task link is added to a Doc programmatically (API, automation, Brain, or an AI assistant), let it render as the same live task card you get when you paste it in by hand. Right now the live card only appears on manual in-app paste, so any automated or AI-built Doc is stuck with dead links. Closing that gap would make Docs genuinely useful as auto-updating dashboards.

The ability to link docs to tasks using the API to make recuring doc creation easier and faster.

Currently, there are two major limitations in the ClickUp Docs API that affect integration and automation workflows: Linking a Doc to a Task (and vice versa) At the moment, there’s no way to associate a ClickUp Doc with a Task via the API. The Create Task Attachment endpoint only allows attaching external files — it does not support linking native ClickUp Docs. Also, while it's possible to create links between tasks, there's no similar functionality available for documents. Managing Doc permissions When creating a Doc via the Create Doc endpoint, there’s no way to manage detailed access settings. The only option is to set it as either "private" or "public", but if it's private, there's no way to specify which members or guests should have access. The Update privacy and access of an object or location endpoint — which supports updating permissions for most ClickUp objects (tasks, spaces, lists, etc.) — doesn't support documents, leading to a gap in access control. Suggestions: Add support for linking Docs to Tasks (in both directions). Expand the Docs API to include access management by user or group, similar to how it works for other objects. These improvements would make the API more robust and consistent with the capabilities available through the ClickUp UI.

I would like an api to create a doc using doc template. This would make it easier, for example, to take minutes of daily meetings or create documents associated with tasks that have occurred.

i want to archive docs via api

We are currently utilising the Docs API in ClickUp to develop a convenience feature. However, we’ve encountered a limitation with the 'editPage' API—it allows content modifications but does not support changing the parentPage. We would like to request an enhancement to the 'editPage' API, enabling it to accept the parent_page_id parameter, similar to the 'createPage' API. This would allow for the modification of the parentPage, providing more flexibility in managing document structures.

The Open API docs are a mess, and the response on runtime does not match the models. For example: "Getting Tasks of a List" ( https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetTasks/ ) I receive custom_fields of each task with the values on runtime, but it is not specified by the API documentation. Also, what I get is the model "Task9", that differs to the models Task, Task1, Task2, Task3, Task4, Task5, and Task6. Yes, there are seven different models defined for a task.

Need to access the documents created by the Ai Notetaker which contain the video/audio, summary, transcript, etc.

I want to create a Doc as an Task Attachement. Current Create Doc API endpoint does not allow to specify task as a parent.

It seems there's no endpoint that allows us to add attachments to a doc via API calls. Would be great if there's one so I can generated the doc and add images directly to the doc via API.
