We are considering a Public API for Marker.io that would let teams create, update, and manage issues and projects automatically. With this API, people could connect Marker.io with other tools they already use, making it easier to manage tasks without needing to do everything manually.
What the API Could Do:
Create and Manage Projects:
  • You could create new projects, get project details, update project info like URLs and guest forms, and even archive old projects when you're done with them.
  • This would save teams a lot of time, especially if they’re working on many projects at once.
Manage Issues:
  • You’d be able to pull up issue details and update them from other tools.
- This could be helpful if you need to mark an issue as
"Resolved"
or add comments from your main project management app.
  • It would also allow automatic syncing with systems like Trello or Kanban boards so that when an issue moves to a new stage, it updates in Marker.io too.
Update Task Statuses:
  • The API would let you automatically update issue statuses (like
    Open
    ,
    Resolved
    , or
    Archived
    ) when changes are made in other tools you use.
  • Right now, webhooks give you some of this, but they only work one way. The API could make this a two-way connection, so things update both in Marker.io and your other apps.
Custom Integrations and Automations:
  • The API would allow you to create automatic workflows, like setting up a new project in Marker.io whenever a Slack channel or Trello board is created.
  • It could also help with mobile integrations, so developers can more easily collect issues from different mobile apps without needing extra work from the Marker.io team.
