  title: Basecamp Schedules API
  description: The Basecamp API is a REST API that provides programmatic access to Basecamp's project management and team communication platform. It enables developers to manage projects, to-do lists, messages, documents, schedules, campfires, uploads, card tables, templates, and team members across Basecamp accounts. The API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and returns JSON responses, with all requests scoped to an account ID in the base URL path. Resources include projects, people, to-dos, message boards, documents, card tables, campfires, questionnaires, and webhooks, covering the full breadth of Basecamp's collaboration toolset.
