dueDate Parameter: Task due date time in "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ" Example : "2019-11-13T03:00:00+0000"

TickTick API Response for Certain Requests

As of the current version of this project, it's important for users to be aware that the TickTick API has specific behaviors regarding the responses for certain operations. Notably:

  • No Content Responses: For some operations, such as deleting a project or completing a task, the TickTick API returns an HTTP status code indicating success (e.g., 200 OK) but does not include any response body. This means that while these operations can be successfully executed, the API does not provide additional data or confirmation in the response body.

  • Handling of API Responses: This custom node has been designed to interpret HTTP status codes as indicators of the success or failure of an operation. Since no further details are provided by the API for certain requests, the node generates its own success messages for user feedback. Users should rely on these status codes and custom messages for confirmation of operation outcomes.

  • API Documentation Discrepancies: Users may also encounter instances where the behavior of the TickTick API does not fully align with its documentation, particularly regarding the response data for certain requests. We recommend users to proceed with caution and validate the functionality through testing, especially for critical workflows.

This project's implementation takes these API characteristics into account, aiming to provide clear and useful feedback to users whenever possible. However, users are encouraged to conduct their own testing and verification to ensure the node meets their specific needs.

Future updates to the TickTick API may address these issues, and subsequent versions of this project will aim to incorporate any changes to enhance functionality and user experience.
