ClickUp Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect diagnostic information for troubleshooting ClickUp API v2 issues. Generates a redacted bundle safe for sharing with support.

Programmatic Diagnostics

interface ClickUpDiagnostics {
  auth: { ok: boolean; userId?: number; username?: string };
  rateLimit: { limit: number; remaining: number; resetAt: string };
  workspaces: Array<{ id: string; name: string; memberCount: number }>;
  latencyMs: number;
  platformStatus: string;
}

async function collectDiagnostics(): Promise<ClickUpDiagnostics> {
  const start = Date.now();
  const response = await fetch('https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/user', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': process.env.CLICKUP_API_TOKEN! },
  });
  const latencyMs = Date.now() - start;

  const rateLimit = {
    limit: parseInt(response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Limit') ?? '0'),
    remaining: parseInt(response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining') ?? '0'),
    resetAt: new Date(
      parseInt(response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Reset') ?? '0') * 1000
    ).toISOString(),
  };

  let auth: ClickUpDiagnostics['auth'];
  if (response.ok) {
    const data = await response.json();
    auth = { ok: true, userId: data.user.id, username: data.user.username };
  } else {
    auth = { ok: false };
  }

  // Get workspaces
  const teamsRes = await fetch('https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/team', {
    headers: { 'Authorization': process.env.CLICKUP_API_TOKEN! },
  });
  const teams = teamsRes.ok ? await teamsRes.json() : { teams: [] };

  return {
    auth,
    rateLimit,
    workspaces: teams.teams.map((t: any) => ({
      id: t.id, name: t.name, memberCount: t.members?.length ?? 0,
    })),
    latencyMs,

  };
}

Error Handling

Issue	Diagnostic Check	Solution
Auth failing	Check HTTP status on /user	Regenerate token
High latency (>2s)	Check latencyMs	Network/region issue
Rate limited (0 remaining)	Check X-RateLimit-Remaining	Wait for reset or upgrade plan
Workspace missing	Check teams.json	Re-authorize workspace
