Trello Skill

Manage Trello boards, lists, and cards directly from Bitterbot.

Setup

  1. Get your API key: https://trello.com/app-key
  2. Generate a token (click "Token" link on that page)
  3. Set environment variables: 
    export TRELLO_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export TRELLO_TOKEN="your-token"

Usage

All commands use curl to hit the Trello REST API.

List boards

curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id}'

List lists in a board

curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/boards/{boardId}/lists?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id}'

List cards in a list

curl -s "https://api.trello.com/1/lists/{listId}/cards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" | jq '.[] | {name, id, desc}'

Create a card

curl -s -X POST "https://api.trello.com/1/cards?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
  -d "idList={listId}" \
  -d "name=Card Title" \
  -d "desc=Card description"

Move a card to another list

curl -s -X PUT "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
  -d "idList={newListId}"

Add a comment to a card

curl -s -X POST "https://api.trello.com/1/cards/{cardId}/actions/comments?key=$TRELLO_API_KEY&token=$TRELLO_TOKEN" \
  -d "text=Your comment here"

  -d "closed=true"

Notes

  • Board/List/Card IDs can be found in the Trello URL or via the list commands

  • Rate limits: 300 requests per 10 seconds per API key; 100 requests per 10 seconds per token; 
    /1/members
    endpoints are limited to 100 requests per 900 seconds
