Asana

About Asana

Asana's developer platform provides a REST API, webhooks, app components, and an MCP server for building applications that extend or integrate with Asana. It supports authentication through OAuth or personal access tokens, and includes tools such as an API explorer, developer sandbox, and client libraries for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, and PHP.

The platform is aimed at developers building integrations with third-party tools, extracting or adding data to Asana's Work Graph, or automating workflows. Apps can be built for use within a single organization or published to the Asana App Directory for discovery by any Asana user, with distribution settings controlling whether an app is private, shared with specific organizations, or available to any workspace via OAuth.

Documentation covers batch requests, custom fields, rate limits, pagination, SCIM, audit log events, and webhooks, along with guides for app component approval, publishing, and updates. Additional resources include tutorials for exporting project statuses to CSV and automating status reports with Google Apps Scripts, plus example apps such as a triage bot and scripts for portfolio-to-CSV export.
