An R wrapper around the Clockify API.
The documentation for {clockify} is hosted at https://datawookie.github.io/clockify/.
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.
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)Retrieve a list of available workspaces.
