Connecting to Teamwork

To authenticate to Teamwork, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use the OAuth standard.

Using OAuth Authentication

First, you will need to register an OAuth application on Teamwork Developer Portal. The Teamwork developer portal can be accessed by appending '/developer' to your Teamwork URL, for example: 'https://{yourTeamworkURL}.com/developer'. Your Oauth application will be assigned a client id and a client secret.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

• AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
• OAuthClientId: Set this to the client_id that is specified in you app settings.
• OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client_secret that is specified in you app settings.
• CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI that is specified in your app settings

Additionally, you will need to set the Domain in ProfileSettings, found in the domain name of your Teamwork site address. For example if your Teamwork site address is https://acmeinc.teamwork.com/, then the Domain should be 'acmeinc'.

Example connection string:

Profile=C:\profiles\Teamwork.apip;ProfileSettings='Domain=acmeinc';Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
