# ClickUp credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [ClickUp](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.clickup.md)
* [ClickUp Trigger](/integrations/builtin/trigger-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.clickuptrigger.md)

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* API access token
* OAuth2

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [ClickUp's documentation](https://clickup.com/api/) for more information about the service.

## Using API access token <a href="#using-api-access-token" id="using-api-access-token"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need a [ClickUp](https://www.clickup.com/) account and:

* A Personal API **Access Token**

To get your personal API token:

1. If you're using ClickUp 2.0, select your avatar in the lower-left corner and select **Apps**. If you're using ClickUp 3.0, select your avatar in the upper-right corner, select **Settings**, and scroll down to select **Apps** in the sidebar.
2. Under **API Token**, select **Generate**.
3. Copy your **Personal API token** and enter it in your n8n credential as the **Access Token**.

Refer to [ClickUp's Personal Token documentation](https://clickup.com/api/developer-portal/authentication#personal-token) for more information.

If you're [self-hosting](/deploy/host-n8n.md) n8n, you'll need to create an OAuth app:

1. In ClickUp, select your avatar and select **Integrations**.
2. Select **ClickUp API**.
3. Select **Create an App**.
4. Enter a **Name** for your app.
5. In n8n, copy the **OAuth Redirect URL**. Enter this as your ClickUp app's **Redirect URL**.
6. Once you create your app, copy the **client\_id** and **secret** and enter them in your n8n credential.
7. Select **Connect my account** and follow the on-screen prompts to finish connecting the credential.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/clickup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
