Docs

Suggest Edits

Workdocs serve as a central place for teams to plan and execute work in a collaborative format. They are like virtual whiteboards that allow you to jot down notes, create charts, and populate items on a board from the text you type.

Docs allow teams to collaborate in real time without overwriting each other's work. Users can even implement built-in features like widgets, templates, and apps to enhance their docs. Check out this article to learn more about the workdocs product!

Docs queries

Required scope: docs:read

You can only use docs at the root of your query. It cannot be nested within another query. Querying docs will return a collection of docs.

query {
  docs (ids: 123456789, limit: 1) {
    id
    object_id
    settings
    created_by {
      id
      name
    }
}

let query = "query { docs (ids: 123456789, limit: 1) { id object_id created_by { id name }} settings }";

fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : 'YourSuperSecretAPIkey'
   },
   body: JSON.stringify({
     query : query
   })
  })
   .then(res => res.json())
   .then(res => console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2)));
