Setup
This connector wraps the Teamwork Projects REST API v3 (per-subdomain — yoursubdomain.teamwork.com/projects/api/v3).
Setup:
- Log into your Teamwork account → top-right avatar → Edit my details → API & Mobile → Get my API Key.
- Note your subdomain (the part before
.teamwork.com). - Set
TEAMWORK_SUBDOMAINandTEAMWORK_API_KEY.
Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.
Per-tenant baseUrl: https://${TEAMWORK_SUBDOMAIN}.teamwork.com/projects/api/v3. Substituted at import time.
API versions: v3 is the modern REST. v1/v2 still exist for some endpoints. This adapter uses v3 where available.
