Hello, is it possible to retrieve resource allocations from resource planners via API? I’m using a stand-alone capacity manager to summarize resource allocation but it has a limit of 50 connected planners. As a result, it seems like pulling the data via API and writing custom reporting is my only alternative. I don’t see anything that specifically mentions resource planner data in the API reference, assuming these data points are treated as items under boards? Going to keep testing but wanted to reach out in parallel. Appreciate any insights.
Hello @DavidDvorak
There’s no dedicated API endpoint for Resource Planner or Capacity Manager allocations. That data isn’t exposed as its own object in the monday.com API, so you won’t find it in the reference.
If your capacity is driven by board data like People plus Date or Timeline and an Effort or Numbers column, you can pull it via items and column_values and rebuild the workload externally. That’s essentially how monday calculates it.
If the 50 planner limit is the blocker, Enterprise portfolios may help. Otherwise the workaround is mirroring allocation data into boards or submitting a feature request.

Hey @DavidDvorak
I’m Ram the CTO of spot-nik. We are actually working this days on a resource planning app that I believe will fit exactly your need!
I would like to demo it for you and get feedback, and open an alpha version for you!
Please reach out at ram.perel@spot-nik.com so we can schedule a meeting and I will show you the app.
Thanks,
Ram
Thank you for confirming my suspicions. Can you tell me more about mirroring allocation data into boards? Are you referring to the mirrored column feature in Monday? Are you suggesting manually duplicating/reproducing the allocation data in board format?
