Bitrix24 API

Use the Bitrix24 REST API via direct curl calls to manage CRM, tasks, and users in your Bitrix24 workspace.

Official docs: https://apidocs.bitrix24.com/

---

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

• Manage CRM leads (create, update, list, delete)
• Manage CRM deals and sales funnels
• Manage CRM contacts and companies
• Create and manage tasks
• Get user information
• Automate business workflows

---

Prerequisites

1. Log in to your Bitrix24 workspace
2. Go to Applications → Developer Resources → Ready-made scenarios → Other → Incoming webhook
3. Create a new webhook and select the required permissions (CRM, Tasks, Users)
4. Copy the webhook URL
5. Store it in the environment variable

export BITRIX_WEBHOOK_URL="https://your-domain.bitrix24.com/rest/1/your-secret-code"

Webhook URL Format

https://[domain]/rest/[user-id]/[secret-code]/[method].json

• domain: Your Bitrix24 address
• user-id: Webhook creator's ID
• secret-code: Authentication token (keep secure)
• method: API method name

---

Important: When using $VAR in a command that pipes to another command, wrap the command containing $VAR in bash -c '...'. Due to a Claude Code bug, environment variables are silently cleared when pipes are used directly.

bash -c 'curl -s "https://api.example.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"' | jq .

How to Use

All examples assume BITRIX_WEBHOOK_URL is set to your webhook base URL.

---

1. Get Current User

Get information about the authenticated user:

bash -c 'curl -s -X GET "${BITRIX_WEBHOOK_URL}/user.current.json"' | jq .

Response:

{
  "result": {
  "ID": "1",
  "NAME": "John",
  "LAST_NAME": "Doe",
  "EMAIL": "john@example.com"
  }
}

---

2. List Users

Get a list of users in the workspace:

bash -c 'curl -s -X GET "${BITRIX_WEBHOOK_URL}/user.get.json"' | jq '.result[] | {ID, NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL}

---

Guidelines

1. Keep webhook secret: Never expose your webhook URL publicly
2. Use POST for complex queries: Filters and field selections work better with POST
3. Check field names: Use *.fields.json methods to get valid field names
4. Rate limits: Bitrix24 has rate limits; add delays for bulk operations
5. Pagination: Results are paginated; use start parameter for large datasets
