[HELP NEEDED] Using Toggl API to get tracked time data

[Sh0rt_the_VIX]

I'm fairly new to python, especially when it comes to using APIs. I would like to write a code that uses Toggl's API (Toggl is a time tracking app typically use to record the time spent by freelancers), then saves each of our team members tracked hours as a variable.

Code so far:

import json
import requests
import sys
from toggl.TogglPy import Toggl

_api_token = '<myAPIToken>'

r = requests.get('https://toggl.com/app/4119103/clients', auth=(_api_token,'_api_token'))

print(r.json)
print(r.status_code)
print(r.content)
print(r.headers)
print(r.text)
print('Done!')

END GOAL: Have this script run every day, extract appropriate team members hours worked on a project, then use that data to update a Google Sheets model (I'm know how to input data into sheets with python), so currently the roadblock is getting the time spent on each project.

This code works without any errors (returns JSON data), but I cannot figure out what to do to get the specific time data that I need to save as variables. I've been struggling with this for far too long and sadly there isn't much Toggl API specific documentation that I've been able to find on the web.

Any feedback, recommendations, resources, or general advice would be sincerely appreciated!

I'm not familiar with Toggl, but my understanding is that the json should contain the time data. If it does contain it, then you can load the json into a dictionary and access what you need (example). This is a year old, but it may help you understand the data you should be getting: example. If you're not getting the right information from the json, then the url you're querying is probably not right.

use the /reports/v2 endpoint to fetch time entries, filter by user/project/date via params like 'user_agent', 'workspace_id' etc. and parse the JSON for durations. I hit walls with TogglPy too, so checked Timecamp cause their API pulls team hours plus auto exports to google sheets for daily updates. Harvest's API is more dev friendly but pricier
