API Overview

The primaTime API is a comprehensive GraphQL-based API designed for time tracking, project management, and team collaboration. It provides a unified interface for managing organizations, projects, clients, tasks, time records, and more.

What You Can Do

With the primaTime API, you can:

• Manage Organizations — Create and configure workspaces for teams
• Track Time — Log time records against projects, tasks, and clients
• Manage Projects — Create projects, assign team members, and track progress
• Handle Clients — Organize client information and associate projects
• Manage Tasks — Create, assign, and track task completion within projects
• Generate Reports — Query time tracking summaries and financial reports
• Manage Users — Invite team members, assign roles, and control access

Key Concepts

GraphQL Endpoint

All API requests are sent to a single endpoint:

POST https://api.next.primatime.com/graphql

The API uses standard GraphQL conventions:

• Queries for reading data
• Mutations for creating, updating, or deleting data

Authentication Flow

Choose the credential that fits your integration:

• API key — generated by a user in their profile, sent in the X-Api-Key header. Best for scripts, cron jobs and automation.
• OAuth access token — obtained by signing a user in, sent in the Authorization header as a bearer token. Best for tools other people use with their own accounts.

Multi-Tenancy

primaTime is a multi-tenant system. Each organization is a separate tenant with isolated data. The organization travels with your credential — fixed when an API key is created, or chosen at sign-in for OAuth — so requests need no additional header.

Request/Response Flow

Basic Request Structure

Every GraphQL request contains:

{
  "query": "...",
  "variables": { ... }
}

Example: Fetching Projects

query GetProjects {
  projects(first: 10) {
    edges {
      node {
        id
        title
        code
        status {
          title
        }
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      endCursor
      totalCount
    }
  }
}

HTTP Request

curl -X POST https://api.next.primatime.com/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "query": "query GetProjects { projects(first: 10) { edges { node { id title code } } pageInfo { hasNextPage totalCount } } }"
  }'

Response Structure

Successful responses follow this structure:

{
  "data": {
    "projects": {
      "edges": [
        {
          "node": {
            "id": "abc123",
            "title": "Website Redesign",
            "code": "WEB-001"
          }
        }
      ],
      "pageInfo": {
        "hasNextPage": true,
        "totalCount": 42
      }
    }
  }
}
