Create a time entry

post

https://api.rocketlane.com/api/1.0/time-entries

This endpoint can be used to create a time entry. It is mandatory to provide values for these three properties: date, minutes and the source of the time entry, which can be either one of activityName, task, projectPhase or project. The activityName param can be used to track time against adhoc activities. Providing multiple sources as input will result in an error. This API returns the created time entry object.
