API Overview

Todoist API (also known as the “Sync API”) is specially designed for efficient data sync between clients (e.g. our mobile apps) and Todoist.

All Sync API requests share the same endpoint URL: https://todoist.com/API/v7/sync

Sync API requests should be made in HTTP POST (application/x-www-form-urlencoded). Sync API responses, including errors, will be returned in JSON.

Sync API supports the following features -

Batching: reading and writing of multiple resources can be done in a single HTTP request. Batch requests help clients reduce the number of network calls needed to sync resources.
Incremental sync: You only retrieve data that are updated since the last time you performed a sync request.

Note that documentation for the older Todoist API v6 is still available, but we strongly recommend you use or migrate your code to the current version, as the v6 may be deprecated in the near future.

  'temp_id_mapping': { ... },
  'user': { ... }
}

Note that the following parameters mostly make sense when sending commands in the shell with curl, and not with the Python library, as many things are automated there. For example by default the Python library fetches all resource types and then always does incremental syncs, so there’s no need to specify most of the following parameters.

To retrieve your user resources, make a Sync API request with the following parameters:

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
token String	User’s API token
sync_token String	A special string, used to allow the client to perform incremental sync. Pass `*` to retrieve all active resource data. More details about this below.
resource_types JSON array of strings	Used to specify what resources to fetch from the server. It should be a JSON-encoded array of strings. Here is a list of avaialbe resource types: `labels`, `projects`,`items`, `notes`, `filters`, `reminders`, `locations`, `user`, `live_notifications`, `collaborators`, `notification_settings`. You may use `all` to include all the resource types.

Incremental sync

Note that the Python library always does incremental syncs under the hood, so there’s no reason to worry about them if you use it.

The Sync API allows clients to retrieve only updated resources, and this is done by using the “synchronization token”, sync_token, in your Sync API request.

On your initial sync request, specify sync_token=* in your request, and all the user’s active resource data will be returned. Todoist API server will also return a new sync_token in the Sync API response.

In your subsequent Sync request, use the sync_token that you received from your previous sync response, and the Todoist API server will return only the updated resource data.

Response

When the request succeeds, an HTTP 200 response will be returned with a JSON object containing the requested resources and also a new sync_token.

Field	Description
sync_token	A new synchronization token. Used by the client in the next sync request to perform an incremental sync.
full_sync	Whether the response contains all data (a full synchronization) or just a part of them since the last sync.
user	A user object.
projects	An array of project objects.
items	A array of item objects.
labels	An array of label objects.
filters	A array of filter objects.
day_orders	A JSON object specifying the order of items in daily agenda.
reminders	An array of reminder objects.
collaborators	A JSON object containing all collaborators for all shared projects. The `projects` field contains the list of all shared projects, where the user acts as one of collaborators.
collaborators_states	An array specifying the state of each collaborator in each project. The state can be invited, active, inactive, deleted.
live_notifications	An array of live_notification objects
live_notifications_last_read	What is the last live notification the user has seen? This is used to implement unread notifications.
settings_notifications	User’s notification setting, used by clients that support native notifications.

Write resources

Example API call that creates a new project.

$ curl https://todoist.com/API/v7/sync \
    -d token=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 \
    -d commands='[{"type": "project_add", "temp_id": "381e601f-0ef3-4ed6-bf95-58f896d1a314", "uuid": "ed1ce597-e4c7-4a88-ba48-e048d827c067", "args": {"name": "Project1", "item_order": 1, "indent": 1, "color": 1}}]'
{
  "sync_token": "JLlaPv840mDQK4PLl6-hmjYMbP2h_RHsfPmIXuqmJI_zRiQHFww9olfDvSSpw74nrdvS",
  "sync_status": {"ed1ce597-e4c7-4a88-ba48-e048d827c067": "ok"},
  "temp_id_mapping": {"381e601f-0ef3-4ed6-bf95-58f896d1a314": 128501470}
}

>>> import todoist
>>> api = todoist.TodoistAPI('0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567')
>>> api.sync(commands=[{'type': 'project_add', 'temp_id': '381e601f-0ef3-4ed6-bf95-58f896d1a314', 'uuid': 'ed1ce597-e4c7-4a88-ba48-e048d827c067', 'args': {'name': 'Project1', 'item_order': 1, 'indent': 1, 'color': 1}}]
{
  'sync_status': {'ed1ce597-e4c7-4a88-ba48-e048d827c067': 'ok'},
  'temp_id_mapping': {'381e601f-0ef3-4ed6-bf95-58f896d1a314': 128501470},
  'sync_token': 'JLlaPv840mDQK4PLl6-hmjYMbP2h_RHsfPmIXuqmJI_zRiQHFww9olfDvSSpw74nrdvS'
}

Note that the Python example is only there to show what is the equivalent for sending commands, but actually there’s no need to use that with the Python library, as it has its own object oriented API which is a lot easier to do various things, so many of the parameters mentioned below do not make much sense for the Python library, and instead you can just use the methods described in the following sections.

To write to your user’s Todoist resources, make a Sync API request with the following parameters

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
commands	A JSON array of Command object. Each command will be processed in the specified order.
token	API token

Command object

Field	Description
type String	The type of the command.
args Object	The arguments of this specific command.
uuid String	Command UUID. More details about this below.
temp_id String	Temporary resource ID, Optional. Only specified for commands that create new resource (“item_add” command). More details about this below.

Command UUID

Note that the Python library takes care of sending UUIDs, so there’s no need to worry about them if you use it.

API clients should generate a unique string ID for each command and specify it in the uuid field. The Command UUID will be used for two purposes:

Command result mapping: Each command’s result will be stored in the sync_status field of the response JSON object. The sync_status object has its key mapped to a command’s uuid and its value containing the result of a command.
Command idempotency: Todoist will not execute command that has same UUID as the previously executed commands. This will allow clients to safely retry each command without accidentally performing the command twice.

Temporary resource id

An example that shows how temporary ids can be used and referenced:

[
  { "type": "project_add",
    "temp_id": "c7beb07f-b226-4eb1-bf63-30d782b07b1a",
    "args": {
      "name": "Test Project"
    },
    "uuid": "ac417051-1cdc-4dc3-b4f8-14526d5bfd16"
  },
  {
    "type": "item_add",
    "temp_id": "43f7ed23-a038-46b5-b2c9-4abda9097ffa",
    "args": {
      "content": "This is a test task",
      "project_id": "c7beb07f-b226-4eb1-bf63-30d782b07b1a"
    },
    "uuid": "849fff4e-8551-4abb-bd2a-838d092775d7"
  }
]

You can see that the project_add command specified a temp_id property (“c7beb07f-b226-4eb1-bf63-30d782b07b1a”) as placeholder of the actual project_id. The item_add command can refrence to this temporary project id. The API will automatically resolve these ids. “`

Note that the Python library takes care of handling temporary ids, so there’s no reason to worry about them if you use it.

Some commands depend on the result of previous command. For instance, you have a command sequence: "project_add" and "item_add" which first creates a project and then add a new task to the newly created project. In order to run the later item_add command, we need to obtain the project ID returned from the previous command. Therefore, the normal approach would be to run these two commands in two separate HTTP requests.

The temporary resource ID feature allows you to run two or more dependent commands in a single HTTP request. For commands that are related to creation of resources (i.e. item_add, project_add), you can specify an extra temp_id as a placeholder for the actual ID of the resource. The other commands in the same sequence could directly refer to temp_id if needed.

Response / Error

The result of command executions will be stored in the following response JSON object field:

Data	Description
temp_id_mapping Object	A dictionary object that maps temporary resource ids to real resource ids.
sync_status Object	A dictionary object containing result of each command execution. The key will be the command’s `uuid` field and the value will be the result status of the command execution.

An example of a single request sync return value:

{
  "sync_status": {"863aca2c-65b4-480a-90ae-af160129abbd": "ok"}
}

An example of a multiple requests sync return value:

{
  "sync_status": {
    "32eaa699-e9d7-47ed-91ea-e58d475791f1": "ok",
    "bec5b356-3cc1-462a-9887-fe145e3e1ebf": {"error_code": 15, "error": "Invalid temporary id"}
  }
}

The status result of each command execution is in the sync_status dictionary object. The key is a command uuid and the value will be the result status of the command execution. There are two possible values for each command status -

an "ok” string which signals success of the command
an error object containings error information of a command.

Please see the adjacent code examples for the possible format of the sync_status.

Response status codes

The server uses the HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. And as is customary in web servers, a 2xx code indicates - success, a 4xx code - an error due to incorrect user provided information, and a 5xx code - an internal, possibly temporary, error.

Status code	Description
200 OK	The request was processed successfuly.
400 Bad Request	The request was incorrect.
401 Unauthorized	Authentication is required, and has failed, or has not yet been provided.
403 Forbidden	The request was valid, but for something that is forbidden.
404 Not Found	The requested resource could not be found.
429 Too Many Requests	The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time.
500 Internal Server Error	The request failed due to a server error.
503 Service Unavailable	The server is currently unable to handle the request.

Limits

The maximum number of commands is 100 per request, and this is done to prevent timeouts and other problems when dealing with big requests.

There’s also a maximum number of 50 sync requests per minute for each user, in order to prevent clients from accidentally overloading our servers.

v6 to v7 migration guide

The new v7 Todoist API is still based on the original Todoist Sync API (as was the case for the v6 API), so the differences between the two APIs aren’t as extended as those between the v5 and v6 APIs.

In this section we document all the changes between the two different versions of our API, in order to make it easier to upgrade your client code.

The main difference between the two APIs is that the seq_no, ie. the sequence number which was basically an always increasing number, is not used anymore to implement the incremental sync functionality, but instead the sync_token has been introduced, a string hash value. So in order to do the initial full sync instead of seq_no=0, one needs to send sync_token=*. Other than than, the last known value of sync_token should be used in order to an incremental sync, similar to what was done before with the seq_no.

Here follows a list of various minor changes from the previous API version:

The sync_token value is not returned by the sync call anymore, but the sync_token and the full_sync variables are returned instead.
The sync call now returns all objects in underscore naming convention, instead of CamelCase, so the Collaborators, CollaboratorStates, DayOrders, Filters, Items, Labels, LiveNotifications, LiveNotificationsLastRead, Notes, Projects, Reminders, SettingsNotifications, SyncStatus, TempIdMapping, and User objects, where renamed to collaborators, collaborator_states, day_orders, filters, items, labels, live_notifications, live_notifications_last_read, notes, projects, reminders, settings_notifications, sync_status, temp_id_mapping, and user, respectively
The DayOrdersTimestamp has been deprecated, and instead the sync_token is used to keep track of updates.
The UserId variable is not returned by the sync call anymore.
The timezone and tz_offset properties of the user were replaced by the tz_info object.
The is_dummy and guide_mode properties of the user were removed.
The has_push_reminders, beta, restrictions, and dateist_inline_disabled properties of the user were moved to the features object.
The uid property of labels was removed.
The user_id property of filters was removed.
The due_date property of reminders was removed.
The user_id, archived_date, and archived_timestamp properties of projects were removed.
The due_date property of items was removed.
Only 10 notes per item are returned with the sync call and thus the get_item call should be used for more.

Authorization

In order to make authorized calls to Todoist APIs, your application must first obtain an access token from the users. This section describes the different ways of obtaining such a token.

Note that we encourage your application to use the OAuth protocol to obtain the access token from the user, as the other authentication methods (login and login_with_google) are scheduled for deprecation.

OAuth

External applications could obtain a user authorized API token via the OAuth2 protocol. Before getting started, developers need to create their applications in App Management Console and configure a valid OAuth redirect URL. A registered Todoist application is assigned a unique Client ID and Client Secret which are needed for the OAuth2 flow.

This procedure is comprised of 3 steps, which will be described below.

Step 1: The authorization request

An example of redirecting a user to the authorization URL:

$ curl "https://todoist.com/oauth/authorize" \
    -d "client_id=0123456789abcdef" \
    -d "scope=data:read,data:delete" \
    -d "state=secretstring"

Redirect users to the authorization URL at the endpoint https://todoist.com/oauth/authorize, with the specified request parameters.

Here follow the required parameters:

Name	Description
client_id	The unique Client ID of the Todoist application that you registered.
scope	A comma separated list of permissions that you would like the users to grant to your application. See below a table with more details about this.
state	A unique and unguessable string. It is used to protect you against cross-site request forgery attacks.

Here are the scope parameters mentioned before:

Name	Description
task:add	Grants permission to add tasks to the Inbox project (the application cannot read tasks data). This is only used by the helper method of adding an item.
data:read	Grants read-only access to application data, including tasks, projects, labels, and filters.
data:read_write	Grants read and write access to application data, including tasks, projects, labels, and filters. This scope includes `task:add` and `data:read` scopes.
data:delete	Grants permission to delete application data, including tasks, labels, and filters.
project:delete	Grants permission to delete projects.

And here are some common errors that you may encounter:

Error	Description
User Rejected Authorization Request	When the user denies your authorization request, Todoist will redirect the user to the configured redirect URI with the `error` parameter: `http://example.com?error=access_denied`.
Redirect URI Not Configured	This JSON error will be returned to the requester (your user’s browser) if redirect URI is not configured in the App Management Console.
Invalid Application Status	When your application exceeds the maximum token limit or when your application is being suspended due to abuse, Todoist will redirect the user to the configured redirect URI with the `error` parameter: `http://example.com?error=invalid_application_status`.
Invalid Scope	When the `scope` parameter is invalid, Todoist will redirect the user to the configured redirect URI with `error` parameter: `http://example.com?error=invalid_scope`.

Step 2: The redirection to your application site

When the user grants your authorization request , the user will be redirected to the redirect URL configured in your application setting. The redirect request will come with two query parameters attached: code and state.

The code parameter contains the authorization code that you will use to exchange for an access token. The state parameter should match the state parameter that you supplied in the previous step. If the state is unmatched, your request has been compromised by other parties, and the process should be aborted.

Step 3: The token exchange

An example of exchanging the token:

$ curl "https://todoist.com/oauth/access_token" \
    -d "client_id=0123456789abcdef" \
    -d "client_secret=secret" \
    -d "code=abcdef" \
    -d "redirect_uri=https://example.com"

On success, Todoist returns HTTP 200 with token in JSON object format:

{
  "access_token": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567",
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Once you have the authorization code, you can exchange it for the access token at the endpoint POST https://todoist.com/oauth/access_token.

Here follow the required parameters:

Name	Description
client_id	The unique Client ID of the Todoist application that you registered.
client_secret	The unique Client Secret of the Todoist application that you registered.
code	The unique string code that you obtained in the previous step.

And here are some common errors that you may encounter (all the error responses will be in JSON format):

Error	Description
Bad Authorization Code Error	Occurs when the `code` parameter does not match the code that is given in the redirect request: `{"error": "bad_authorization_code"}`
Incorrect Client Credentials Error	Occurs when the `client_id` or `client_secret` parameters are incorrect: `{"error": "incorrect_application_credentials"}`

Revoke Access Tokens

Access tokens obtained via OAuth could be revoked making a JSON request (HTTP POST) to the following endpoint: https://todoist.com/api/access_tokens/revoke

curl https://todoist.com/api/access_tokens/revoke -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"client_id":"xyz", "client_secret":"xyz", "access_token":"xyz"}'

Required parameters:

Name	Description
client_id	The unique Client ID of the Todoist application that you registered.
client_secret	The unique Client Secret of the Todoist application that you registered.
access_token	Access token obtained from the OAuth authentication

Upon successful request, a HTTP 204 response will be returned.

Migrate Personal Tokens to OAuth Tokens

Tokens obtained via the old email/password authentication method could be migrated to the new OAuth access token. Migrating your users' personal tokens will allow users to see your app in their Todoist Setting page and give them the ability to manage their app authorization.

Migration API endpoint (HTTP POST, with JSON request parameters): https://todoist.com/api/access_tokens/migrate_personal_token

curl https://todoist.com/api/access_tokens/migrate_personal_token -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"client_id":"xyz", "client_secret":"xyz", "personal_token":"xyz", "scope": "data:read"}'

{"access_token": "....", "token_type": "Bearer"}

Required parameters:

Name	Description
client_id	The unique Client ID of the Todoist application that you registered.
client_secret	The unique Client Secret of the Todoist application that you registered.
personal_token	Token obtained from the email/password authentication
scope	Scopes of the OAuth token. Please refer to the OAuth section for the detailed list of available scopes.

Upon succesful request, a HTTP 200 response will be returned with a new OAuth token in JSON format: {"access_token": "....", "token_type": "Bearer"}

All API endpoints support Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for requests from any origin. The header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * is set for successfully authenticated requests.

CORS headers example:

>>> item.close()
>>> api.commit()

A simplified version of item_complete / item_update_date_complete. The command does exactly what official clients do when you close a task: regular task is completed and moved to history, subtask is checked (marked as done, but not moved to history), recurring task is moved forward (due date is updated).

Add a new task to a project. Note, that this is provided as a helper method, a shortcut, to quickly add a task without going through the Sync workflow described in a previous section.

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
token String	The user’s token received on login.
content String	The text of the task.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Description
project_id Integer	The id of the project to add the task to, while the default is the user’s `Inbox` project.
date_string String	The date of the task, added in free form text, for example it can be `every day @ 10` (or `null` or an empty string to unset). Look at our reference to see which formats are supported.
priority Integer	The priority of the task (between `1` and `4`, `4` for very urgent and `1` for natural).
indent Integer	The indent of the task (between `1` and `4`, where `1` is top-level).
item_order Integer	The order of the task inside a project (where the smallest value would place the task at the top).
labels Array of Integer	The task’s labels (a list of label ids such as `[2324,2525]`).
assigned_by_uid Integer	The id of the user who assigns the current task. This makes sense for shared projects only. Accepts `0` or any user id from the list of project collaborators. If this value is unset or invalid, it will automatically be set up to your uid.
responsible_uid Integer	The id of user who is responsible for accomplishing the current task. This makes sense for shared projects only. Accepts `0` or any user id from the list of project collaborators. If this value is unset or invalid, it will automatically be set to `null`.
note String	Add a note directly to the task (a string value that will become the content of the note).
auto_reminder Boolean	When this option is enabled, the default reminder will be added to the new item if it has a due date with time set. See also the auto_reminder user option for more info about the default reminder.

Update the user’s notification settings.

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
token String	The user’s token received on login.
notification_type String	The notification type. For a list of notifications have a look at the `Live Notifications` section.
service String	The service type, which can take the values: `email` or `push`.
dont_notify Integer	Whether notifications of this service should be notified (`1` to not notify, and `0` to nofify).

Project can be shared with other users, which are then called collaborators, and this section describes the different commands that are related to sharing.

Collaborators

An example of a collaborator object:

{
  "id": 1855589,
  "email": "you@example.com",
  "full_name": "Example User",
  "timezone": "GMT +3:00",
  "image_id": null
}

There are two types of objects to get information about a user’s collaborators and their participation in shared projects: collaborators and collaborator_states

Every user who shares at least one project with a user, has a collaborators record in the API response. The record contains a restricted subset of user-specific properties.

Property	Description
id Integer	The user id of the collaborator.
email String	The email of the collaborator.
full_name String	The full name of the collaborator.
timezone String	The timezone of the collaborator.
image_id Integer	The image id for the collaborator’s avatar, which can be used to get an avatar from a specific URL. Specifically the `https://dcff1xvirvpfp.cloudfront.net/<image_id>_big.jpg` can be used for a big (195x195 pixels) avatar, `https://dcff1xvirvpfp.cloudfront.net/<image_id>_medium.jpg` for a medium (60x60 pixels) avatar, and `https://dcff1xvirvpfp.cloudfront.net/<image_id>_small.jpg` for a small (35x35 pixels) avatar.

Partial sync returns updated collaborator objects for users that have changed their attributes, such as their name or email.

Collaborator states

An example of a collaborator state:

{
  "project_id": 128501470,
  "user_id": 1855589,
  "state": "active",
  "is_deleted": false
}

The list of collaborators doesn’t contain any information on how users are connected to shared projects. To provide information about these connections, the collaborator_states field should be used. Every collaborator state record is a mere “user to shared project” mapping.

Property	Description
project_id Integer	The shared project id of the user.
user_id Integer	The user id of the collaborator.
state String	The status of the collaborator state, either `active` or `invited`.
is_deleted Boolean	Set to `true` when the collaborator leaves the shared project.

This function allows you to send invitation to your business account. Every invitation object has unique id and secret code. Anyone who knows this information, can activate invitation and join your business account. Invitation is deactivated at the moment it’s accepted or rejected by receiver, or deleted manually by sender.

Invitation objects are not created (quietly skipped), if the invitation recipient is an existing Todoist user and this user already belongs to a business account.

If an invitation for that recipient already exists and hasn’t been activated yet, a new invitation object will not be created. Instead, an existing invitation will be re-sent and the corresponding invitation object will be returned back.

The return value is a list of invitation objects.

Required arguments

Argument	Description
token String	User’s access token
email_list List of Strings	The emails of users which will be invited

Optional arguments

Argument	Description
message String	Additional text which will be included to invitation welcome message

Required parameters

Parameter	Description
token String	The user’s token received on login (a string hash value).

Optional parameters

Parameter	Description
object_type String	Filters events by a specific object type.
object_id Integer	Filters events by a specific object id, but only if the `object_type` has been also specified.
event_type String	Filters events by a specific event type.
object_event_types Array of Strings	An alternative way to filter by multiple object and event types. This takes a list of strings of the form `[object_type]:[event_type]` (where either `object_type` part or the `event_type` part can be ommited), such as for example `["item:", "note:added"]`. When this parameter is specified the `object_type`, `event_type` and `object_id` parameters are ignored.
parent_project_id Integer	Filters object events by the id of the project they belong to, so this implicitly limits the results to items and notes.
parent_item_id Integer	Filters object events by the id of the item they belong, so this implicitly limits the results to notes.
initiator_id Integer	Filters event by the id of the initiator.
since String	Filters events to those that took place after the specified date and time, formatted as for example `2016-06-28T12:00`.
until String	Filters events to those that took place before the specified date and time, formatted as `2016-06-28T12:00`.
limit Integer	The number of events to return, where the default is `30`, and the maximum is `100`.
offset Integer	The number of events to skip, which can be used for pagination in order to get more events than those returned by the previous call.

Webhooks

The Todoist Webhooks API allows applications to receive real-time notification (in the form of HTTP POST payload) on the subscribed user events. Notice that once you have a webhook setup, you will start receiving webhook events from all your app users immediately.

Important Considerations

Due to the nature of network requests, your application should assume webhook requests could arrive out of order or could even fail to arrive; webhooks should be used only as notifications and not as a primary Todoist data source (make sure your application could still work when webhook is not available).

Configuration

Before you can start receiving webhook event notifications, you must first have your webhook configured at the App Management Console.

Events

Here is a list of events that you could subscribe to, and they are configured at the App Management Console.

Event Name	Description
item:added	An item was added
item:updated	An item was updated
item:deleted	An item was deleted
item:completed	An item was completed
item:uncompleted	An item was uncompleted
note:added	A note was added
note:updated	A note was updated
note:deleted	A note was deleted
project:added	A project was added
project:updated	A project was updated
project:deleted	A project was deleted
project:archived	A project was archived
project:unarchived	A project was unarchived
label:added	A label was added
label:deleted	A label was deleted
label:updated	A label was updated
filter:added	A filter was added
filter:deleted	A filter was deleted
filter:updated	A filter was updated
reminder:fired	A reminder has fired

Request Format

Event JSON Object

Each webhook event notification request contains a JSON object. The event JSON object follows this general structure:

{"event_name": "...", "user_id"=..., "event_data": {...}}

The structure of the “event_data” object varies depending on the type of event it is. For instance, if it is an “item:added” event notification, The “event_data” will represent the newly added item.

Example Delivery

POST /payload HTTP/1.1

    }
}
  ...

Request Header

Header Name	Description
User-Agent	Will be set to “Todoist-Webhooks”
X-Todoist-Hmac-SHA256	To verify each webhook request was indeed sent by Todoist, an `X-Todoist-Hmac-SHA256` header is included; it is a SHA256 Hmac generated using your `client_secret` as the encryption key and the whole request payload as the message to be encrypted. The resulting Hmac would be encoded in a base64 string.
X-Todoist-Delivery-ID	Each webhook event notification has a unique `X-Todoist-Delivery-ID`. When a notification request failed to be delivered to your endpoint, the request would be re-delivered with the same `X-Todoist-Delivery-ID`.

Failed Delivery

When an event notification failed to be delivered to your webhook callback URL endpoint (i.e. due to server error, network failure, incorrect response, etc), it would be re-delivered after 15 mins, and each notification would be re-delivered for at most three times.

Your callback endpoint must respond with a HTTP 200 when receiving an event notification request. A response other than HTTP 200 would be considered as failed delivery, and the notification would be delivered again.
