  -d '{"first_name":"Jane","last_name":"Doe","email":"jane@example.com","password":"secret123"}'

curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/auth/login \

To-Do Lists (Cleaning Checklists)

To-do lists are cleaning checklists that can be attached to jobs. They tell service providers what specific tasks to perform at a property.

Natural Language (message-tidy)

For complex multi-step operations, send a natural language request instead of calling individual endpoints.

bash

curl -X POST https://public-api.tidy.com/api/v2/message-tidy \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TIDY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Add a new property at 456 Oak Lane, Austin TX 78701 with gate code 1234",
    "context": { "address_id": 123 }
  }'

This is asynchronous. Poll with GET /api/v2/message-tidy/{id} every 3–5 seconds until status is completed or failed.

Example requests

"Add a new vacation rental at 789 Palm Dr, Scottsdale AZ 85251"
"Create a guest reservation at my Beach House for April 10-14"
"Show me all upcoming reservations at address 123"
