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

* API key
* OAuth2

Refer to [Todoist's REST API documentation](https://developer.todoist.com/rest/v2/#overview) for more information about the service.

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

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

* An **API Key**

To get your **API Key**:

1. In Todoist, open your [**Integration settings**](https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations).
2. Select the **Developer** tab.
3. Copy your **API token** and enter it as the **API Key** in your n8n credential.

6. Copy the **Client ID** from Todoist and enter it in your n8n credential.
7. Copy the **Client Secret** from Todoist and enter it in your n8n credential.
8. Configure the rest of your Todoist app as it makes sense for your use case.

## 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/todoist.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.
