ClickUp

Authentication

This connector uses OAuth 2.0. Scalekit acts as the OAuth client: it redirects your user to ClickUp, obtains an access token, and automatically refreshes it before it expires. Your agent code never handles tokens directly — you only pass a connectionName and a user identifier.

You supply your ClickUp Connected App credentials (Client ID + Secret) once per environment in the Scalekit dashboard.

Set up the connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the ClickUp connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

1. Set up auth redirects

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection. Find ClickUp and click Create. Copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

     

   • In ClickUp, click your Workspace avatar (lower-left corner) → Settings → Integrations → ClickUp API.

   • Open your application and paste the copied URI under Redirect URL(s), then save.

     

2. Get client credentials

   On your ClickUp application page (Settings → Integrations → ClickUp API):

   

   • Client ID — found under Client ID on your app page
   • Client Secret — found under Client Secret on your app page

3. Add credentials in Scalekit

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

   • Enter your credentials:

     • Client ID (from your ClickUp app page)
     • Client Secret (from your ClickUp app page)

     

   • Click Save.

Code examples

Connect a user’s ClickUp account and make API calls on their behalf — Scalekit handles OAuth and token management automatically.

Proxy API Calls

Node.js

import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node';
import 'dotenv/config';

const connectionName = 'clickup'; // get your connection name from connection configurations
const identifier = 'user_123';    // your unique user identifier

// Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
  process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
  process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET
);
const actions = scalekit.actions;

// Authenticate the user
const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
});
console.log('🔗 Authorize ClickUp:', link);
process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...');
await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r));

// Make a request via Scalekit proxy
const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName,
  identifier,
  path: '/api/v2/user',
  method: 'GET',
});
console.log(result);

Python

import scalekit.client, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

connection_name = "clickup"  # get your connection name from connection configurations
identifier = "user_123"      # your unique user identifier

# Get your credentials from app.scalekit.com → Developers → Settings → API Credentials
scalekit_client = scalekit.client.ScalekitClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
    env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
)
actions = scalekit_client.actions

# Authenticate the user
link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier
)
# present this link to your user for authorization, or click it yourself for testing
print("🔗 Authorize ClickUp:", link_response.link)
input("Press Enter after authorizing...")

# Make a request via Scalekit proxy
result = actions.request(
    connection_name=connection_name,
    identifier=identifier,
    path="/api/v2/user",
    method="GET"
)
print(result)
