Tracking States — Hubstaff API — Hubstaff Developer Portal

List organization tracking states

GET/v2/organizations/{organization_id}/tracking_states

Returns timer start/stop events for members in the organization.

Each event has a type of start or stop, derived from the client-reported tracking state. Both the desktop and web timers report these events.

Results can be filtered by user_ids[], project_ids[], and task_ids[], within a required occurred[start]/[stop] time range (maximum 7 days).

Events on deleted projects are excluded. Events from members who have been removed from the organization are excluded by default; pass include_removed=true to include them.

Note: occurred_at is client-reported and may be backdated, so results are returned in insertion order (by id). Sort by occurred_at client-side to build a chronological timeline.
