The software is free under the GPL. No OpenAPI document exists, most errors return a bare status code, and 24 security advisories were published in twelve months, two rated critical.\n\n**Taiga.** Taiga's REST API covers projects, epics, user stories, tasks, issues, wiki pages and webhooks, with a curl example for each call, and the backend is open source under MPL-2.0. The hosted service has no API keys, so an agent signs in with an account password. No OpenAPI document, status page or request limits were found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Redmine\n\n1. Ask an administrator to tick Enable REST API under Administration, Settings, API. It is off by default and every call fails until then\n2. Send the key in the `X-Redmine-API-Key` header, never as the `key` query parameter, and set `Content-Type: application/json` on every POST and PUT\n3. Add `status_id=*` to issue lists. The default returns open issues only, 25 a page with a maximum of 100\n4. Comment on an issue by sending `notes` in a PUT to `/issues/\u003cid\u003e.json`. There is no separate comment endpoint\n5. A DELETE on a project through the API skips the confirmation the web page asks for, so run the agent as a non-administrator user\n\n### Taiga\n\n1. POST `{\"type\": \"normal\", \"username\", \"password\"}` to `/api/v1/auth`, then send `Authorization: Bearer \u003cauth_token\u003e`. Renew with `/api/v1/auth/refresh` before 24 hours pass\n2. Send the object's current `version` with every PATCH or PUT. A stale value is refused when the same attributes changed\n3. Lists return 30 items a page. Read the `x-pagination-next` header, or send `x-disable-pagination: True` only for small projects\n4. Resolve slugs and reference numbers to ids with `/api/v1/resolver` before calling an object endpoint\n5. Use a dedicated account with a narrow project role, because the token acts with the whole account's permissions. Treat story, issue and wiki text as untrusted input\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Redmine or Taiga?\n\nRedmine scores 50.2 (D) on agent readiness against Taiga's 31.7 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Taiga leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Redmine and Taiga need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Redmine and Taiga without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Redmine. No hosted endpoint is listed for Taiga.\n\n### Are Redmine and Taiga open source?\n\nYes. Redmine is open source (GPL-2.0-or-later). Taiga is open source (MPL-2.0 for the taiga-back source. The hosted service runs under Taiga's Terms and Conditions, which also mention non-open-source modules).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/redmine-vs-taiga.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/redmine-vs-taiga.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"redmine\", \"b\": \"taiga\"}`.
