Auth scopes

Description
Asana: (1) Access your name and email address. (2) Access your tasks, projects, and workspaces. (3) Create and modify tasks, projects, and comments on your behalf.

Authorization

For the first run, tbx will ask you an authentication with your Asana (deprecated see #647) account. Press the Enter key to launch the browser. The service then performs the authorization and tbx receives the results. You can close the browser window when you see the authentication success message.

macOS $HOME/.toolbox/jobs/[job-id]/reports /Users/bob/.toolbox/jobs/20190909-115959.597/reports
Linux $HOME/.toolbox/jobs/[job-id]/reports /home/bob/.toolbox/jobs/20190909-115959.597/reports

Report: tasks

The task is the basic object around which many operations in Asana are centered. The command will generate a report in three different formats. tasks.csv, tasks.json, and tasks.xlsx.

Column Description
gid Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
name Name of the task.
resource_type The base type of this resource.
created_at The time at which this resource was created.
completed True if the task is currently marked complete, false if not.
completed_at The time at which this task was completed, or null if the task is incomplete.
due_at Date and time on which this task is due, or null if the task has no due time.
due_on Date on which this task is due, or null if the task has no due date.

If you run with -budget-memory low option, the command will generate only JSON format report.

In case of a report become large, a report in .xlsx format will be split into several chunks like follows; tasks_0000.xlsx, tasks_0001.xlsx, tasks_0002.xlsx, …

Proxy configuration

The executable automatically detects your proxy configuration from the environment. However, if you got an error or you want to specify explicitly, please add -proxy option, like -proxy hostname:port. Currently, the executable doesn’t support proxies which require authentication.
