How to Use the ClickUp Docs Page Listing Public API

This guide shows you how to use the ClickUp Docs Page Listing public API endpoint to retrieve a list of public doc pages for your workspace and integrate them into your apps or internal tools.

Following this tutorial, you will understand the required parameters, authentication options, example requests, and how to handle responses safely and efficiently.

Overview of the ClickUp Docs Page Listing endpoint

The Docs Page Listing public endpoint lets you query published doc pages that are available through a public address. It is designed for scenarios where you need to surface workspace documentation in external portals, websites, or reporting tools without exposing full internal data.

The endpoint supports filters for pagination and for returning only active or trashed documents. Responses include structured data that you can render directly in your own UI or process with other services.

ClickUp Docs Page Listing endpoint URL

The endpoint is available over HTTPS and follows the ClickUp public API conventions. The base path for public docs page listing is:

GET /public/api/docs/page

You should always use HTTPS to protect data in transit and follow the documented path exactly to ensure your requests are routed to the correct service.

Authentication options for ClickUp Docs listing

The public docs page listing can be accessed in two main ways, depending on how you are distributing content:

• Using a shared public address (no token)
• Using a public token to control and secure access

Using ClickUp public addresses

If your workspace or specific docs have public addresses enabled, you can construct requests that rely on the shared public visibility. In this mode, only content that is exposed publicly can be returned. This is useful for embedding documentation in customer-facing websites or portals where no user-specific authorization is required.

Using ClickUp public tokens

Public tokens allow stricter control over which docs are available. A token can be added as a query parameter or header, depending on the implementation described in the reference page. Using tokens is recommended when you want to limit listing access to a specific integration, partner, or environment while still avoiding full user authentication flows.

Required and optional parameters in ClickUp Docs Page Listing

The Docs Page Listing public endpoint accepts several parameters that determine which pages are returned and how the results are structured.

Key query parameters

• page: The page of results you want to retrieve, used for pagination.
• limit: The maximum number of docs pages to return in one response.
• space_id / folder_id / list_id: Filters to narrow docs pages to specific organizational units, when supported.
• status filters: Options to show active, archived, or trashed docs, depending on the configuration described in the reference.

Refer to the official reference for the complete list and supported values: ClickUp Docs Page Listing public API reference.

Recommended pagination pattern

To avoid timeouts and to keep responses manageable, use pagination consistently:

1. Start with page=0 or page=1 depending on the documented starting index.
2. Set a reasonable limit (for example 20, 50, or 100).
3. Request subsequent pages until the response indicates there are no more results.

This approach reduces load on both your integration and the ClickUp backend.

Example request to the ClickUp Docs Page Listing endpoint

The following steps outline a typical flow for calling the public docs page listing from a server-side integration or backend service.

Step 1: Prepare your ClickUp endpoint URL

Create the base URL and append query parameters. For example, using generic placeholders:

GET https://api.clickup.com/public/api/docs/page?page=0&limit=20

Extend this with additional filters such as list or folder identifiers, if those are required for your use case.

Step 2: Add ClickUp authentication or public token

If the endpoint requires a token, attach it as defined in the specification. Common patterns include:

• As a header (for example, Authorization: Bearer <token>)
• As a query parameter (for example, ?token=<token>)

Use only the method that the reference page describes as supported for the public Docs Page Listing endpoint.

Step 3: Send the HTTP request

You can use tools such as curl, Postman, or your preferred HTTP client in any programming language. Example with a generic curl pattern:

curl -X GET "https://api.clickup.com/public/api/docs/page?page=0&limit=20"   -H "accept: application/json"

Adjust headers and token usage according to your implementation details and security requirements.

Understanding the ClickUp Docs Page Listing response

The response is returned as JSON and typically includes both metadata and an array of docs page objects.

Common response fields

• pages: A list of docs pages matching your filters.
• id: Unique identifier of each doc page.
• name/title: The display title of the doc page.
• url or public_url: A link that can be opened in a browser.
• status / archived / trashed: High-level state information.
• created / updated timestamps: For sorting or syncing logic.

You can use these fields to build navigation menus, searchable indexes, or content portals that mirror your ClickUp docs structure.

Handling pagination data

The response often includes pagination metadata such as the current page, total pages, or a flag indicating whether more results are available. Use this information to:

• Stop requesting new pages when you reach the end.
• Display page numbers or “Load more” buttons in UIs.
• Schedule incremental syncs of docs pages into your own data store.

Best practices for integrating the ClickUp Docs Page Listing API

When you integrate the Docs Page Listing endpoint into production systems, follow these recommendations to keep your solution reliable and secure.

Respect ClickUp rate limits

Public endpoints are subject to rate limits. To stay within those limits:

• Cache responses when possible instead of requesting the same data repeatedly.
• Use pagination rather than very large limit values.
• Back off or queue requests if you encounter rate limit responses.

Secure ClickUp tokens and URLs

If you use tokens or special public addresses:

• Store tokens in environment variables or secrets managers.
• Avoid exposing tokens in client-side code or public repositories.
• Rotate tokens periodically following your internal security policies.

Keep ClickUp integration maintainable

To make future maintenance easier and reduce breakage when the API evolves:

• Centralize your API client logic in one module or service.
• Log response status codes and errors for troubleshooting.
• Monitor the official reference page for updates to fields or parameters.

Troubleshooting common ClickUp Docs Page Listing issues

If you encounter problems when working with the Docs Page Listing public endpoint, review these common scenarios.

Authentication or permission errors

When you receive errors related to access or authorization:

• Verify that the docs you are querying are actually public or accessible by your token.
• Confirm that the token is valid and not expired or revoked.
• Check that you are passing headers and parameters exactly as described in the reference.

Empty ClickUp docs responses

If the API returns no pages:

• Confirm that there are published docs in the workspace or space you are targeting.
• Remove filters such as specific list or folder identifiers to test a broader search.
• Check status filters to make sure you are not limiting results to archived or trashed pages only.

Using ClickUp docs data in downstream systems

Once you receive data successfully, you can connect it to knowledge bases, AI assistants, or custom dashboards. For end-to-end API integration and automation consulting, you can explore services from partners such as Consultevo, which specialize in process and platform optimization.

Next steps for working with ClickUp public APIs

After you have implemented the Docs Page Listing public endpoint, consider:

• Syncing docs data into search indexes.
• Building custom documentation portals.
• Combining docs pages with other public or workspace data to give users a unified view.

Always refer back to the official ClickUp Docs Page Listing public API documentation for the most accurate and current information on fields, limits, and supported options.
