trello FAQ

Where do I find my board ID or card ID?

Board/List/Card IDs appear in the Trello URL or can be retrieved via the list commands (e.g., curl to /members/me/boards).

What are the API rate limits?

300 requests per 10 seconds per API key; 100 requests per 10 seconds per token; /members endpoints limited to 100 requests per 900 seconds.

Is my API key and token secure?

They provide full access to your Trello account. Keep them secret and never commit them to version control.

Can I create lists or boards via this skill?

The provided examples focus on cards, lists, and boards retrieval. The Trello API supports list/board creation, but specific curl examples are not included in this skill.

What if I need to update card fields other than list or closed status?

The Trello REST API supports many card fields. Use curl PUT requests with additional -d parameters following the same pattern as the move and archive examples.
