Headers

​
Authorization
string
required

API key. Value must be formatted like so: lucca application={api_key}.

Body

Definitions

Projects are the main resources in Lucca Project.

They belong to a single Client and Organization. Internal (non-billable) projects may be attached to a client that represents your own company.

Any billable project, whether fixed price or time and materials, must have a owner, start and end dates, and a contract:

  • A fixed price project must have prices set on its services.
  • A time and materials project must have bill rates set on its services.

A Project is only available for time submission while on the "ongoing" status. Whenever a project is marked as complete or abandonned, all its services' estimates are adjusted to the actual spent value.

A project must be valid (ie all required fields must be set) before its status can be set to "ongoing".

Once ongoing, a project cannot go back to the "draft" status and can no longer be deleted. It may only be abandonned or complete.
