Build and run workflows using the RescueTime API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The RescueTime API provides access to detailed data about how you spend your time on digital devices, including time spent on apps and websites. With this API on Pipedream, you can create custom workflows that trigger actions based on your productivity data. For instance, you can set up alerts for excessive social media usage or automate weekly productivity reports. Pipedream's platform enables these automations by connecting RescueTime to hundreds of other apps, allowing for intricate workflows that can enhance personal productivity and time management.

Authentication#
RescueTime uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your RescueTime account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into RescueTime and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any RescueTime API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
