Abacus vs Clockify API

If you need a Development API that's easy to integrate, go with Abacus.

Abacus

Free and simple counting service. You can use it to track page hits and specific events

Clockify API

The in-official OpenAPI v3 spec for the https://clockify.me API. The oriignal docs https://docs.clockify.me are not exposing an OpenAPI spec, this is the try to create it with best effort.

Abacus

  • No authentication required
  • HTTPS supported
  • CORS enabled for frontend use

Clockify API

  • HTTPS supported
  • Requires No authentication
FeatureAbacusClockify API

When to use which?

Abacus is the better choice for quick prototypes and hackathons since it requires no authentication. Abacus works directly from the browser with CORS enabled, making it better for frontend-only apps.
