What can you use the API for?
The API provides programmatic access to Geniebelt functionality and data.
You can use it to:
Integrate Geniebelt with other systems – Connect Geniebelt data and functionality with your existing tools and workflows.
Automate workflows – Use the API to automate actions that would otherwise need to be performed manually in Geniebelt.
Access real-time data – API requests return current data, reflecting the state of your projects when the request is made.
Build custom solutions – Use Geniebelt data in your own applications, dashboards, or other internal solutions.
API documentation
Once you have access, you can use the API documentation to see the available endpoints and how to work with them.
The documentation describes the available resources, parameters, authentication requirements, and responses.
Available API resources include areas such as projects, project items, packages, companies, users, teams, comments, attachments, progress reports, and more.
Note: The exact functionality available through the API depends on the endpoint you are using.
Rate limits
Rate limits depend on the endpoint.
For most endpoints used to retrieve data:
500 requests can be made in a burst. After this, the rate is limited to 1 request per second.
For requests that load all projects:
3 requests can be made in a burst. After this, the rate is limited to 1 request per second.

API or Datamart?
The API and Datamart are designed for different purposes.
Geniebelt API | Geniebelt Datamart |
Real-time data | Historical and analytical data |
System integrations | Reporting and analytics |
Automated actions and workflows | Analysis across larger datasets |
Operational use | Decision-making over time |
The API is generally the right choice when you need real-time actions or system integrations.
If your main purpose is analytics, historical analysis, or working with large amounts of data for reporting and decision-making, the Geniebelt Datamart may be more suitable.
