ManicTime API

Automatically enabled when you configure ManicTime permissions in your agent workflow, or on a dashboard.

What It Does

Read each person’s timelines per device: computer usage, applications with their window titles, documents and websites, and tags

Read activities for a time range, with their start times and durations, and the changes to a timeline

Read the devices that send data and the tags each person may use

Tag a stretch of time, change a tag and remove one

Replace the list of tags each user and team may use

Read the list of screenshots ManicTime took

Permission Groups

Group	Covers
Timelines & Activity	Timelines, their activities and changes, devices, and the tracking client’s settings. Read only
Tags	The tags a person may use; create, change and remove tag activities
Allowed Tag List	Replace the list of tags each user and team may use. Write only
Screenshots	The list of screenshots ManicTime took. Read only

Access Profiles

Profile	What runs on its own	What asks a technician
Read Only	Every read	No write is allowed
Helpdesk	Every read	Tagging time; the allowed tag list stays off
IT Admin	Every other read and write	Changing an existing tag, and sending raw timeline changes
Full Automation	Every other read and write	Changing an existing tag, and sending raw timeline changes

Safety Controls

Control	Behavior
A tag change asks	Changing an existing tag replaces all its values, so it always asks a technician first, whatever the group’s setting; so do raw timeline changes, which can carry the same change
Tags only	ManicTime takes writes on Tags timelines only, so Neo cannot change the record of what a person did
Only documented calls	Neo sends only the calls in ManicTime’s published API, and refuses any other write
The connected user’s own rights	Neo acts as one ManicTime user, so ManicTime leaves out or refuses what that user may not see or do
The saved server only	Neo follows no redirect, so the credential goes only to the server you saved
