Asana authentication and configuration

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Asana agent connector.

Authentication

Open source execution

In open source mode, you provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
access_token	str	No	OAuth access token for API requests
refresh_token	str	Yes	OAuth refresh token for automatic token renewal
client_id	str	No	Connected App Consumer Key
client_secret	str	No	Connected App Consumer Secret

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_asana import AsanaConnector
from airbyte_agent_asana.models import AsanaOauth2AuthConfig

connector = AsanaConnector(
    auth_config=AsanaOauth2AuthConfig(
        access_token="<OAuth access token for API requests>",
        refresh_token="<OAuth refresh token for automatic token renewal>",
        client_id="<Connected App Consumer Key>",
        client_secret="<Connected App Consumer Secret>"
    )
)

Token

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
token	str	Yes	Your Asana Personal Access Token. Generate one at https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_asana import AsanaConnector
from airbyte_agent_asana.models import AsanaPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig

connector = AsanaConnector(
    auth_config=AsanaPersonalAccessTokenAuthConfig(
        token="<Your Asana Personal Access Token. Generate one at https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps>"
    )
)

Hosted execution

In hosted mode, you first create a connector via the Airbyte API (providing your OAuth or Token credentials), then execute operations using either the Python SDK or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the hosted execution tutorial.

OAuth

Create a connector with OAuth credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
access_token	str	No	OAuth access token for API requests
refresh_token	str	Yes	OAuth refresh token for automatic token renewal
client_id	str	No	Connected App Consumer Key
client_secret	str	No	Connected App Consumer Secret

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Asana",
    "name": "My Asana Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "access_token": "<OAuth access token for API requests>",
      "refresh_token": "<OAuth refresh token for automatic token renewal>",
      "client_id": "<Connected App Consumer Key>",
      "client_secret": "<Connected App Consumer Secret>"
    }
  }'

Bring your own OAuth flow

To implement your own OAuth flow, use Airbyte's server-side OAuth API endpoints. For a complete guide, see Implement your own OAuth flow.

Step 1: Initiate the OAuth flow

Request a consent URL for your user.

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
external_user_id	string	Yes	Your unique identifier for the end user
connector_type	string	Yes	The connector type (e.g., "Asana")
redirect_url	string	Yes	URL to redirect to after OAuth authorization

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors/oauth/initiate" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Asana",
    "redirect_url": "https://yourapp.com/oauth/callback"
  }'

Redirect your user to the consent_url from the response. After they authorize, they'll be redirected back to your app with a secret_id query parameter.

Step 2: Create a connector with the secret ID

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
external_user_id	string	Yes	Your unique identifier for the end user
connector_type	string	Yes	The connector type (e.g., "Asana")
name	string	Yes	A name for this connector instance
server_side_oauth_secret_id	string	Yes	The secret_id from the OAuth callback

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <BEARER_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Asana",
    "name": "My Asana Connector",
    "server_side_oauth_secret_id": "<secret_id_from_callback>"
  }'

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field Name	Type	Required	Description
token	str	Yes	Your Asana Personal Access Token. Generate one at https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/v1/integrations/connectors" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "external_user_id": "<EXTERNAL_USER_ID>",
    "connector_type": "Asana",
    "name": "My Asana Connector",
    "credentials": {
      "token": "<Your Asana Personal Access Token. Generate one at https://app.asana.com/0/my-apps>"
    }
  }'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using either the Python SDK or API.

Python SDK

from airbyte_agent_asana import AsanaConnector

connector = AsanaConnector(
    external_user_id="<your_external_user_id>",
    airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
    airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)

@agent.tool_plain # assumes you're using Pydantic AI
@AsanaConnector.tool_utils
async def asana_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
    return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/connectors/sources/<connector_id>/execute' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <SCOPED_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'
