About Trello
Trello’s REST API expectskey (application id from Power-Ups admin) and token (user-authorized) on requests (for example GET /1/members/me/boards?key=…&token=…). The key is shareable; the token is secret and scopes access to what the authorizing user can see.
How It Works
Iru authenticates to Trello’s REST API with your Power-Up API key and a user token, passed askey and token query parameters on each request (for example GET https://api.trello.com/1/members/me/boards?key=…&token=…).

| Authentication | API key + token (query parameters) |
https://trello.com/power-ups/admin, open the API key tab, generate a key, then visit Trello’s authorize URL with scope=read and your key to mint a token.
