How do I integrate Shortcut API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified Issue Tracking API that makes Shortcut integration simple. Sign up for free, enable Shortcut in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their Shortcut accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

How does Shortcut authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles Shortcut authentication completely. Your users connect their Shortcut accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement Shortcut's auth flow yourself.

How do I keep my app in sync with Shortcut?

While Shortcut has limited native webhook support, Apideck provides polling-based sync and virtual webhooks to keep your data current. Configure your sync frequency in the dashboard, and we'll handle fetching updates from Shortcut.

Why use Apideck instead of Shortcut's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Shortcut's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When Shortcut updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.

How quickly can I build a Shortcut integration?

Most developers ship a working Shortcut integration within a day using Apideck. Sign up for a free trial (no credit card required), enable Shortcut, and make your first API call within minutes. Our SDKs for Node.js, Python, and other languages make implementation straightforward.
