  title: Hubstaff Activities Time Entries API
  description: 'The Hubstaff API v2 provides programmatic read and write access to Hubstaff''s time tracking, timesheet, workforce management, and project management data - organizations, members, teams, projects, tasks, clients, activities (10-minute tracked time blocks with activity percentages), daily activity aggregates, time entries, timesheets and approvals, time off requests/policies/balances, attendance schedules and shifts, screenshots, app and URL usage, invoices, team payments, and webhooks.


    Authentication uses OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 through Hubstaff Account (https://account.hubstaff.com). For server-side scripts, create a personal access token at https://developer.hubstaff.com/personal_access_tokens - the PAT acts as an OAuth refresh token (90-day expiry) that you exchange for short-lived access tokens at https://account.hubstaff.com/access_tokens. Send the access token as a Bearer token on every request.


    Rate limit: authenticated users are allowed 1,000 requests per hour per application; individual requests time out after 30 seconds. All requests must use HTTPS. Collection endpoints use cursor pagination via page_start_id and page_limit.
