Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

Personal token (no Bearer prefix) in Authorization header
Resolve hierarchy: team → space → folder → list (GET /api/v2/team etc.)
POST /api/v2/list/{list_id}/task with name, assignees (user ids), priority (1-4), due_date (unix ms)
Custom fields: POST /task/{id}/field/{field_id} with value

Known gotchas

Personal tokens go raw in Authorization (pk_...) — adding 'Bearer ' breaks auth
due_date is unix MILLISECONDS — seconds put dates in 1970
Rate limit 100 req/min per token; custom field writes are separate calls per field
