WakaTime Data Dumps API

  version: v1
  description: 'WakaTime API v1 provides automated time-tracking analytics for software developers. IDE

    plugins (VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, Sublime, Xcode, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Zed, and

    many more) send "heartbeats" describing the file, project, language, branch, and editor a

    developer is working in. WakaTime aggregates that data into dashboards, summaries, stats,

    goals, leaderboards, and team/org dashboards.


    Authentication is via OAuth 2.0 (authorize / token / revoke) with scopes such as

    `read_summaries`, `read_stats`, `read_goals`, `read_heartbeats`, `write_heartbeats`,

    `read_orgs`, `write_orgs`, and `email`, or via API Key (HTTP Basic auth or `?api_key=`)

    for personal use. The default rate limit is fewer than 10 requests per second on average

    over any 5-minute window.


    All responses follow the pattern `{"data": ...}` for successful requests or

    `{"error": "message"}` for errors.
