  title: Hubstaff Activities App & URL Tracking 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.

      description: 'Sets the Track Apps & URLs setting for the organization''s members.


        Allowed values: `off`, `apps`, `apps_and_urls`. Available only to organizations whose plan

        includes Apps & URLs tracking.


        Provide `user_ids` to update specific members. To change the organization-wide default

        instead — which cascades to every current and future member — set `apply_to_all_members`

        to `true` and omit `user_ids`. The organization-wide change is cautionary and irreversible

        in bulk: the response reports `scope: "global"`, and for large organizations it is applied

        in the background.


        `user_ids` and `apply_to_all_members` are mutually exclusive, and exactly one of them must

        be given (this prevents an accidental org-wide change when filters are omitted). When

        targeting `user_ids`, omit `apply_to_all_members` entirely — sending it as `false` is

        rejected.
