Trello is an awesome tool that provides individuals and teams the ability to visualize project management and task tracking. It has tons of features that help automate workflows and processes freeing up tons of time for you and your team. Not only that, but Trello has integration plugins that can connect to your favorite apps and services like Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive. On top of all of that, Trello has an API and we will be exploring that today!

Before getting started with any code, an API key and a token are needed in order to access the API. To obtain these, make sure you are logged into your Trello account and then navigate to this link in your web browser. Once there, you should be presented with the following page.

Getting an API key.
