• Organizations. With the introduction of Organizations, we’ve updated the API to handle the changes to how your data is organized. These changes are very minor, but could impact you if you’ve upgraded. The main change is that in Workspaces that have been upgraded to Organizations, when you create a new Project via the API you must specify a team to put the Project in.
• JSON-P support. If you authenticate using Asana Connect, you can now make requests to the API and receive a response in JSON-P format. Simply add the URL parameter opt_jsonp=CALLBACK, filling in the name of the function you want in place of CALLBACK, and that function will be called with the result.
• Task ordering. You can use the insert_before and insert_after parameters on the addProject Task endpoint in order to insert or move a Task to a specific place within the Project.
• Subtask re-homing. You can set the parent field on a Task to change which Task it is a subtask of.
• Followers. The addFollowers and removeFollowers Task endpoints allow you to add or remove followers on a Task.

We hope these changes are helpful, and as usual give us feedback at api-support@asana.com!

Asana Connect uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users, so you no longer have to ask them to supply an API key. There’s plenty of documentation, some example code, and even a ruby gem for omniauth.

This was an extremely popular request, so we’re looking forward to seeing lot of “Sign in with Asana” buttons. If you hit any problems, be sure to let us know by reporting issues (or feedback) to api-support@asana.com!

• Projects now have a stories endpoint similar to tasks, for querying comments/updates on the project object itself.
• There is a new /tags endpoint for manipulating tags.
• Full records for tasks now include a tags field.
• The task endpoint now has addTag and removeTag methods.

• The “method” option was ineffective when using it in the POST body.
• 500 error when setting a task assignee to null.

Just a reminder to our developers that if you receive a 500 response, you’ve probably hit a bug in the API. Please don’t be shy about reporting it to api-support@asana.com!

Existing developers should take note of an important change. The base URL for all API requests has changed to:

https://app.asana.com/api/1.0

Notice we have changed the version number and removed the leading dash (-) from the path. We will keep the old 0.1 access point around for a while and give you time to switch over, but will end-of-life it soon. Please update your clients!

Thanks for being a part of our early access program. Happy developing!
