Overview

SwiftKanban is a visual project management platform based on Kanban principles, and its API lets you manage cards, workflows, and board configurations programmatically. Teams use it to automate card creation from external ticketing systems, pull cycle time metrics, or push status updates from CI/CD pipelines. An API key tied to your SwiftKanban account is required for every request.

Beginner Tip

Refer to the Knowledge Base article linked in the API docs for the exact base URL format — SwiftKanban uses a tenant-specific subdomain (e.g., your-company.swift.digite.com), so there is no single public endpoint to test against.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request

const url = "https://your-tenant.swift.digite.com/api/v2/cards";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized API key not included or formatted incorrectly in the request header

✓ Pass the key as the Authorization header value: Authorization: ApiKey YOUR_KEY

400 Bad Request Required fields missing when creating or updating a card such as cardType or swimlane ID

✓ Read the request body schema in the docs and include all mandatory fields as JSON

503 Service Unavailable The SwiftKanban instance is in maintenance mode or the tenant URL is wrong

✓ Confirm your tenant subdomain and check the SwiftKanban status page for scheduled maintenance

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
